COVID-19 (Coronavirus)
The policy responses taken across the US and the Americas in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will have global significance as well as regional, national and local consequences. Here we analyse the implications of the coronavirus for a broad swathe of international and societal issues.
As COVID-19 spreads around the globe, states grapple to find strategies for coping with the global pandemic and its fallout. Estimates of the individual, social, economic and political impact of the coronavirus are uncertain and will depend on the trajectory of the outbreak and also on the role of international institutions, governments, corporations, public health officials, scientists, cities, and universities. We examine the political and economic responses to the current crisis, as well as the implications of the pandemic on critical issues in the Americas and in international affairs.
