Abstract / Description
The book, Making Sense of Post COVID-19 Politics, is an attempt to answer the questions thrown up by COVID-19. The book dwells on three powerful shifts: 1) from state security to human security; 2) from greed-driven capitalism to conscience-laced capitalism; and 3) from US-Euro centric global politics to an Asia-centric order. This book brings together some of the best minds in Pakistan to make sense of chaos and confusion and initiate scholarly debates on different aspect of COVID-19 led changes. It identifies potential security threats, challenges to the existing ideological politico-economic divide, issues of human security and response mechanisms, and two very central issues of Kashmir and the 18th amendment.
The book is pioneering in nature and indicative in style. It dwells on questions thrown up by Covid -19. The editors have managed to create a sequence across eleven chapters starting with thematic issues and rounding it off with regional and domestic challenges and prospects. This book is a remarkable compilation of articles from acknowledged experts. It is an excellent study into the economic and social cost if the pandemic and its impact on international politics.
