International and National Security, Relative Power Positions and Global Governance: Responses to the Novel Coronavirus Pandemic
Abstract
This article deals with the challenges that global governance has been enduring in the 21st century and focuses on
the role of the novel coronavirus pandemic over its institutions. The discussion begins with an overview of global
governance, emphasizing the theoretic dichotomy in international relations literature over whether the liberal
international order is dissipating or not. This will set the stage for the analysis of both national and international
responses to the Covid 19 public health crisis. The article highlights how the interaction between national policies
translate to the international behavior of states by linking the domestic-foreign policy divide from a qualitative
perspective. As a case study, the article analyses the World Health Organization as a prime example of a global
governance institution in the international system. For comparison purposes regarding the national aspect, this
analysis takes the examples of the Unites States of America, China, Spain, Italy, Germany, France, Russia, Turkey
and the United Kingdom as instances where national responses to the crisis translate into their international stance.
