Comparative Politics of the Coronavirus Pandemic

From testing the resilience of countries with different political regimes and religious cultural traditions to the possibility of bringing world peace and economic equality, the world-historical significance and potential consequences of the coronavirus pandemic are topics of considerable speculation from a comparative perspective. The political, economic and social consequences of the coronavirus pandemic are numerous and still unfolding. Much of the analyses depend on which countries will survive the pandemic with comparatively fewer fatalities per capita and a smaller contraction of their economies. Such economic and demographic outcomes will likely facilitate or perhaps accelerate wider domestic political and societal, but also international transformations.
