The Linkage between the Medical and the International: World Politics in the Shadow of Covid-19

The spread of the corona virus covid-19 has affected on different aspects of human life. International relations and world politics has been subjected to these effects, too. Regarding the linkage between the medical and the international affair, the article aims to study the results of the corona outbreak for world politics. Hence, the main question here is how the medical and the international have related during the spread of corona virus covid-19. My hypothesis is that during the period, their linkage has led to paradoxical situations on different issues including actors, processes, and results. Given the breadth of the subject and the difficulty of applying traditional theories, eclecticism has been used to explain the argument. Therefore, based on this theory and using both explanatory and allegorical methods, the hypothesis is tested. In this regard, I’ll, first, select two instances for each of above-mentioned issues and, then, study the linkage between the medical and the international. Theoretically, I will use an eclecticism. Findings show that covid-19 has not left any critical change in world politics.
