"Informed by history, reporting, and a truly global perspective, this is an indispensable first draft of history and blueprint for how we can move forward." -Ben Rhodes The COVID-19 crisis is the greatest shock to world order since World War II. Millions have been infected and killed. The economic crash caused by the pandemic is the worst since the Great Depression, with the International Monetary Fund estimating that it will cost over $9 trillion of global wealth in the next few years. Many will be left impoverished and hungry. Fragile states will be further hollowed out, creating conditions ripe for conflict and mass displacement. Meanwhile, international institutions and alliances already under strain before the pandemic are teetering, while the United States and China, already at loggerheads before the crisis, are careening toward a new Cold War. China's secrecy and assertiveness have shattered hopes that it will become a responsible stakeholder in the international order. Colin Kahl and Thomas Wright's Aftershocks is both a riveting journalistic account of one of the strangest years on record and a comprehensive analysis of the pandemic's ongoing impact on the foundational institutions and ideas that have shaped the modern world. This is the first crisis in decades without a glimmer of American leadership and it shows-there has been no international cooperation on a quintessential global challenge. Every country has followed its own path-nationalizing supplies, shutting their borders, and largely ignoring the rest of the world. The international order the United States constructed seven decades ago is in tatters, and the world is adrift. None of this came out of the blue. Public health experts and intelligence analysts had warned for a decade that a pandemic of this sort was inevitable. The crisis broke against a global backdrop of rising nationalism, backsliding democracy, declining public trust in governments, mounting rebellion against the inequalities produced by globalization, resurgent great power competition, and plummeting international cooperation. And yet, there are some signs of hope. The COVID-19 crisis reminds us of our common humanity and shared fate. The public has, for the most part, responded stoically and with kindness. Some democracies-South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, New Zealand, among others-have responded well. America may emerge from the crisis with a new resolve to deal with non-traditional threats, like pandemic disease, and a new demand for effective collective action with other democratic nations. America may also finally be forced to come to grips with our nation's inadequacies, and to make big changes at home and abroad that will set the stage for opportunities the rest of this century holds. But one thing is certain: America and the world will never be the same again"--cProvided by publisher. 0aCOVID-19 (Disease)vPolitical aspects. 4aCOVID-19 (Enfermedad)920098xAspectos políticos 4aCOVID-19 919147xAspectos económicos y sociales  0aEpidemicsxEconomic aspects. 4aEpidemias xAspectos sociales919145 0aEpidemicsxSocial aspects.1 aWright, Thomas J.920256  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2lcccBK  00102lcc40708CSaBJBbBJBcCSd2021-11-22l0oHM 1101 K12a 2021p00000155763r2021-11-22 00:00:00t1w2021-11-22yBK
