Globalization Movements and Position of Nation States After Coronavirus


Due to the concept of globalization, which has showed its effect in different fields such as economy, transportation, culture, and technology since the early 1990s, new play-makers and decision-makers have emerged in the new world order. Although there has been a global intellection that removes the boundaries, changes the perception of time and space and standardizes individuals, it is unlikely that this notion will gain freedom of movement without the control of nation states. It would not be wrong to claim that after the coronavirus pandemic, which has emerged recently and affected almost all countries in the world, globalization has weakened, the borders have been withdrawn inside and the security measures of the nation states have tightened, therefore trade network over the world has slowed down. Even though the nation state walls seem to be rising in the face of the loss of the impact of globalization on societies in the pandemic process, the survival of nation states depends on the success of their policies for the security and welfare of their citizens in whole of health, economic, psychological and social areas. Nation states should turn the crisis into an opportunity in this period to prevent chaos and uprisings that emerge as a result of social reactions over time. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current and forward-looking position of nation-state structures in the face of globalization, with examples of policies implemented by several states in methods of struggling with pandemics, by emphasizing the loss of power of global actors in the coronavirus process.
