Global Governance and Crisis Management in the Post COVID-19 World

The idea of internationalism is one of the fundamental pillars of international order. Liberal internationalism became the predominant paradigm for dealing with global problems since the end of the Cold War. Liberal internationalism is in decline since the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. COVID-19 Pandemic is expected to accelerate the dissolution of the existing liberal order further. Three alternative scenarios are mentioned to replace the current order. Revised internationalism, China-centric or regional power centric, and chaos are the alternatives discussed here. A revised version of liberal internationalism seems to be the better alternative, which proposed a more inclusive framework to address global challenges. China-centric or regional power centric approach may offer a hierarchical and more security-oriented perspective. Chao is a possibility, but it may only be prolonged since it will hurt all actors. Turkey andthe other international actors will define their roles according to the emerging order.
