Webinar | COVID-19 and Geopolitics: First Impacts, led by Àngel Castiñeira (ADE ‘95)

Ever since the WHO declared COVID-19 to be a pandemic on 11 March, the disease has infected millions of people in nearly every country in the world, claiming more than 170,000 lives. In the absence of a coordinated response from global authorities (UN, WHO), each country (including EU members) has responded independently with varying degrees of success, generating “winners” and “losers”. The impact of the coronavirus on health, society, the economy, labour and politics so great that – like the collapse of Lehman Brothers – it has the potential to alter the world order. In this webinar, Prof. Àngel Castiñeira will present a provisional assessment of the early geopolitical impacts of COVID-19, noting that we are not at the beginning of the end but only the end of the beginning of a disruptive event whose full magnitude remains unknown. Esade Alumni is pleased to invite you to this Refresher Programme webinar entitled “COVID-19 and Geopolitics: First Impacts”, led by Àngel Castiñeira (ADE ‘95), Associate Professor in the Department of Society, Politics and Sustainability and Director of the Chair in LeadershipS and Democratic Governance at Esade.
