Reviews
"Will the twenty-first be the century of global pandemics as the twentieth was the century of world wars and revolutions? Is this the sobering reality of the ‘brave new world’ which lies ahead of us? This timely and provocative collection of essays provides an acute and sustained analysis by an outstanding group of scholars of how Covid-19 has begun to reshape our thinking about security. One of the very few books whose own scale matches that of the challenge it describes." (Christopher Coker, Director, LSE IDEAS, London, UK)
“The team which Caroline Varin has assembled demonstrates both the deep implications of covid for national and international institutions and its likely impact on all our futures. It is particularly strong in assessing the impact of covid at the grass roots across a range of countries. Whether we consider personal security, the security of the state or the ability of the world to secure a path through climate change, the epidemic has opened a new and dangerous prospect. This is a thought provoking read shot through with original insights”. (Laurence Cockcroft - co-founder Transparency International)Editors and Affiliations
