Reshaping International Politics Post Covid-19 Era

The spread of the Corona virus is become the most serious and critical global crisis which is threatening the whole planet. I just want to explain this situation theoretically because it will bring huge structural changes in international politics.  If anarchism is the key and fundamental characteristic of international politics that have been focused by the realist paradigm.

If we look at the theories of Hobbes, Morgenthau, Kenneth Waltz, Thomas Sailing and Mearsheimer which were titles of classic realism, structural realism, offensive realism and new classic realism all these realist theories emphasized that conflict is the key character of international politics rather than cooperation. Because according to realistic paradigm every country wants to maximize his power and for the maximization of power, they try to adopt every types of mechanism. It is basically process of establishment of his Hegemony on global order. 

The covid-19 pandemic will definitely reshape the Global politics. The reality is the world will never be the same as after coronavirus pandemic. This crisis is not bound by its effects within the national borders but also in the global order. It is a global war on covid-19 pandemic on the one hand and it is also test of humanity on the other. The Post- Corona world does not tolerate competition between two approaches, the first is isolationism, protectionism that adopts the slogan ” America first” and the second is participatory, constructivism that adopt the concept of “One belt, One rod” of China. Basically, corona virus pandemic is a mechanism of “Third Generation War” where countries use Biological weapons to defeat others and try to establish his Hegemony on global order. 

In this context China is acting exactly like this because China has become the world’s medicine hub, needed equipment’s to struggling nations such as Italy, France, Spain in wartime period. In short we can say that Third Generation War begins.
