What to Expect from the World After the Pandemic (15.06.2021)

COVID-19 has deeply affected the order, priorities and practices of individuals, societies, the public and the international system. The way individuals work has changed, while home/remote working models have become widespread worldwide, especially for white-collar workers, and occupational health and safety issues have come to the fore. The measures taken to protect the health of the societies brought up the questions of the balance between freedoms and public interest and the changes in public administration were discussed. While the policies and practices that maintain the domestic order of the states have changed, priorities have also changed in their foreign policies. While systemic changes have made new cost-benefit analyzes necessary, the importance of cooperation between states has increased and protectionist policies have been implemented. In this panel, considering all these changes, the effects of the pandemic on business life, public order, state and interstate relations will be examined, and how the lives of individuals, societies, states and international relations will be shaped in the future will be discussed.
