بالنسبة لما تم اثارته بشان مستقبل العولمة في زمن كوفيد 19 ففي البداية لابد من من التعرف علي ان العولمة يرجع تاريخها الي دور الشركات متعددة الجنسيات ومما لا شك فيه فان الفيروس قطع اوصال الارض وجعل من اصقاعها قطعا متناثرة وجعل العالم يبدو كالجزر المنعزلة لما تم اتخاذه من تدابير احترازية من منع للسفر والغاء للرحلات الجوية وغلق للحدود ومن ثم فان مستقبل العولمة يعتمد علي مدي التعاون الدولي والتضامن ومدي قدرة اشخاص المجتمع الدولي(دولا-ومنظمات) علي التضامن من اجل حماية الجنس البشري خاصة وان انتشار الوباء من البشر الي البشر بات امر مسلما به من قبل منظمة الصحة العالمية

Its a real issue which has been addressed. Few papers in the Env sectors are attached

Dear all, I think the covid-19 pandemic is the last step after which a fast acceleration towards globalization will take place. All indications tell that globalization is considered by leadding countries as the ultimate answer and solution to worldwide problems. The international policy is unified at a unique power. My Regards

Globalization will not end with COVID-19 but will have to restart as a grass roots movement through channels eglected or derided as unimportant so far. There are thousands of initiatives based locally and regionally worldwide which are interconnected by the interest in solutions for urgent problems such as climate change, crop protection, biodiversity, fair food production, basic and advanced technologies.the principal problem is to reduce the impact of nationalistic policies on the exchange of knowledge and skills.

In my opinion, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (pandemic Covid-19 disease) pandemic can be studied in the context of various aspects of globalization processes. On the one hand, the pandemic is global, but it cannot be excluded that through constant mutations new, regional, continental types of Coronavirus strains arise. However, examining the impact of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus on the global economy and economies of individual countries, there are many aspects and disintegration factors that act inversely to traditionally conducted processes of economic globalization. The SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic may significantly modify the economic, technological, information globalization processes that have been taking place for years, etc. The information and technological globalization processes may be accelerated due to the increase in the digitization of communication, manufacturing business processes, etc. On the other hand, they change maybe international logistics chains and capital connections of enterprises. Such processes have already appeared at the beginning of the development of a pandemic. One of the factors that significantly reduces the scale of production is not only the rapidly falling demand for specific services and products, but also the suspension of production processes for specific ranges of components, semi-finished products, spare parts, in countries where the scale of Coronavirus infection is high. As a result, logistics chains break off, specific components and semi-finished products are not delivered on time to plants, assembly plants where final products are produced in other countries. Because on a global scale, internationally conducted transport, distribution and supply logistics, many logistics chains are composed of at least several stages of intermodal transport, so the risk of delays in providing the necessary assortment for final production carried out in other countries is high. Therefore, the risk of maintaining business continuity and maintaining production at an optimal level increases. As a result of these problems, decisions are made in many enterprises to transfer the production of necessary components and semi-finished products to other countries, to other economic regions of the world, to other continents in order to shorten and simplify intermodal, international logistics chains for the transport of a specific range of manufactured semi-finished products or final products. Therefore, if due to the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic international interruptions were temporarily interrupted, including intermodal logistics chains, some production processes may be transferred to other countries. This may lead to a situation where international corporations, which have divided their production processes in previous years into stages implemented in factories and factories located in other countries now because of problems related to supply logistics may go back to the concept of concentration of all manufacturing processes in the same countries, in countries where the company has its headquarters or in countries far away from each other significantly shorter distances. This can lead to many factories returning from developing countries to developed countries despite slightly or significantly higher production costs. In this way, the risk of supply, supply logistics, etc. will be significantly reduced. If this type of international economic process is carried out on a large scale in the following months and years, then some aspects of economic globalization processes will go back. Due to the above, globalization processes may be significantly modified under the influence of the SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus pandemic.

Hi ;

Political leaders in most countries believe that the Covid 19 is a temporary situation, that once a vaccine is developed, life will return to normal and that today's globalization will bring prosperity to all. This is impossible to believe. And no one wants to return to "normalcy", with ever-increasing social and economic injustices and inequalities. The time has come to collectively build a new normality, based on social justice, solidarity and equality. The challenge is how to build an alternative development model, focused on the needs of all peoples and communities in the world and on the protection of our planet. The window of opportunity is now open to accelerate the process.

With my best regards

Well there may be trend of self reliance among most countries unless this is not a trade war

Abdelkader BOUAZIZ

Covid-19 proved once again that we are all in the same boat. The problem from one corner of the earth affected all of us in one form or another. When it came to confronting this problem, things took a different turn and became us vs them! The jury is still out to see if world leaders go for globalization and regionalization

Dear all, we were in the same boat far long before covid-19 pandemic, and still, BUT WITH DIFFERENT INTENSIONS. My Regards

The World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared the corona virus (COVID-19) as a pandemic on March 9, 2020. This means that the corona virus has spread widely in the world.The World Health Organization, has released a release that in a short time the corona virus will not disappear from the face of the earth. The world needs to find solutions in the midst of these co-19 challenges. The solution we have to be able to adjust to the presence of covid-19.

Doufnoune RACHIDA Rachida

" protection of our planet" is a noble cause and we should all do our best. It is unfortunate that those that can make a difference don't really understand that our planet needs protection Or pretend not to understand.

Dear Mahmoud;

You are absolutely right; our planet is in danger. We must review our way of thinking, of consuming, of living, so that each of our actions builds the world we all aspire to see emerge; a world where poverty and hunger are eradicated, where disease is the exception, where the environment on which we depend is protected, where everyone is concerned about everyone's happiness. May the values of sharing, mutual aid and solidarity regain their letters of nobility.

With my best regards

In fact, globalization, despite its continuing failures at the level of practical application, has proven that it has not been affected by that much that could be effective, but Cofid-19 has proven that even the lethal virus organization was not separate from the globalization data in its health field, otherwise how would it spread in this way if it had not The philosophy and trends of globalization have a hand in it. We have to admit that the concept of globalization is no longer defined by an economic, political, or other definition, but rather that it has expanded and has become cross-border and does not benefit standing against it under the excuses of privacy and others, because it has entered into the details of life, especially technical, and health. And we will know after a while that Covid-19 treatment will also be a product and a result of globalization, because we simply will not reach a viable treatment for it because of the lack of effective supplies, in addition to the poverty of scientific research in societies that live in the shadow of ruling systems that do not encourage science, research and knowledge.

Under COVID-19 Globalization Future is an economic crash, the political clash will be the rise, and our human society get a new recap call also get a new kind of world.

Economy Crash: Most importantly developing nations will suffer from this pandemic. almost every developing countries are now the current GDP below form their previous growth rate. Foreign Investment, export, employment, are the key things for this kind of economy. that's why they're economy will collapse.

Political clash: Big rival try to take advantage form the pandemic. you can see, current situation, China-HongKong, China-India, North-south Korea, America. Iran, Many innovations happening on law, Society, many governments take advantage.

Human Society: for human society it' s recap call to restart. and after this pandemic, we will see a new kind of world fresh wind compare to before pandemic, family- friend new face, vacation spot, University. we will see perfectly clean and clear earth again.

Serina Oktavia Marbun

At the individual level we should follow the guidance provided by the health experts in the field ( not the politicians!). The world top scientists should be able to work together to find a vaccine for the COVID-19 as soon as possible. The trend of self reliance among some countries Khurshid A Mattoo should take a step back in the interest of all the countries of the world.

Dear Mahmoud,

Scientists are to track the spread of the coronavirus in the world by using clues in its genetic code. Analysing samples collected from patients will also reveal whether the virus is mutating into new strains. Until now, there isn't a sufficient and satisfactory solution to this problem!!

With my best regards

Lets hope the world after COVID-19 be better than the one before it. There are many valuable lessons that we can and are learning during this pandemic. Let hope and pray that it will better for us all as Doufnoune RACHIDA Rachida wished for.

Idris Bouchama

Thank you for your comments

The cold war between the two superpowers (US and China) and the regional interest of other countries are not helpful in finding a vaccine sooner.

Let us hope that the scientific community rise above these rivalry and collaborate by sharing findings in the interest of humanity.

What if the Covid-19 accelerates the shift from the world to Asia? This global crisis comes at a turning point. For the past ten years, China has increasingly asserted its geopolitical claims. Japan has also demonstrated its management capacity in the face of the epidemic. Why go towards globalization when these powers can benefit from this crisis?

Pandemic may increase political and social pressure on Globalization of products or services. Many nations has experienced an increase in right and far-right ideologies last five to ten years, emphasizing nationalism. Actions to combact pandemic may show that in some way this value can be effective. Global supply chain unballance may change: China dependency for many products to combat pandemic may result in nations reaction to incentive or subsidize a less competitive national production. An increase of global unemployment can silent defensors on market-price competition. Market segments dependent on travel and transport may suffer: workforce was forced to adapt to home office, even in less developed countries. Many companies are noticing adavantages in reducing structure costs and travel expenditure due to home office, without a decrese in productivity. Sanitation measures can be not enough to encourage population back in turism, since a vacine is lack. Traditional offshore investiment may decrease: Global oil demand is likely to keep decreasing and related industries may face lack of investiment in the sector of automakers, ships, aviation and manufacturing in general. Startups and technology can turn to local: starups phenomenon is spread globally, and many middle cities already have their innvation centers. Once, information access is already globalized and many local problems are unsolved, new companies can fit their strategies to the advantages of circular economy.

Under the global pandemic, protectionism (patronage) is deepening. Countries have faced serious problems threatening national security as a result of their dependence on the world and foreign markets. Therefore, from now on, it is very likely that countries will try to achieve self-sufficiency by reducing product and raw material dependence on other countries as much as possible. This, of course, will lead to structural changes in the world economy.

Rahal Wassila Leila

Good question. Why globalization?

certainly some countries are going to benefit from regionalism or other forms of protectionism. however in the long run everyone suffer. China without having US to export it products will not be the power that is now. Japan is in the same category and of course US is in the top of the list. a FAIR GLOBALIZED world should benefit everyone. Unfortunately our current situation is far from being fair.

Ângelo Arantes Levenhagen

Thank you for elaborating on most of the effected areas of the economy.

Under COVID-19 protectionism is deepening Anna Pakhlyan

However, the sustainability of the current situation is largely depend on the behavior of our two giant elephants

Anna Pakhlyan

Covid-19 exposed the vulnerability and lack of resources in many countries to deal with this pandemic. Everyone depended on the “world” for help in the time of need. The size of their economies did not permit self-reliance on every area. They have to give priority to the more urgent area of need. In a fully interconnected and “fair world” they are justified to do so. Covid-19 however changed this. Italy for example learned in a hard way that she cannot even rely on her closest ally at the peak of this pandemic. Therefore, I fully agree with you Anna Pakhlyan that there will be changes and many countries based on the strength of their economy will try to be more self-sufficient in many areas. " This, of course, will lead to structural changes in the world economy".

Mahmoud, your discussion has raised an important set of issues on and around the current and potential nature of globalization during and post Coronavirus. What is interesting to note among the issues is the fact that as powerful nations respond to the pandemic in an insular and uni-directional way and as some even start withdrawing support from international bodies like the WHO, these practices signal a weakening of global networks and cooperation. However, they should also propel nations and communities to rally together and support each other in what is currently a global health and economic crisis. Isolationism in the face of a collective threat may render the current set of problems more complicated and apparently insolvable than greater collaboration would allow for. Interesting...

The future of globalization under COVID-19 is characterized with caution. Nations tend to have rigid and cautions international relations for now. This may be relaxed after effective vaccines have been produced and effectively used world wide. This is not the first time there had disease outbreak, and world moved on afterwards.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has generated political, educational, social and economic changes around the world, in order to promote discussion, especially in the economic sector, we share the following manuscript.

John Mendy

Thank you for your comments. I agree

Some Politicians try to convert every opportunity to extra vote! even this tragedy!

It is unfortunate that COVID-19 so far cost more than 500000 lives and

is becoming a tool for election campaigner. When medical issues are politicized this is the result. let us hope that scientists rise to the occasion and collaborate to find a vaccine soon.

Okechukwu Dominic Nwankwo

I like your positive outlook to the future.

There is no question that we will overcome this pandemic sooner or later. We have the tools and experts to find the vaccine. The problem is the cold war that prevents countries from cooperating. I believe the lessons learned during this pandemic will not leave us so soon and will linger on for some time to come. International relations will take on a different meaning and countries will be a lot more cautious about putting all their eggs in one basket!

Jorge Andrés Sánchez-Duque

Covid-19 changed many things in a short span of time. perhaps the most damaging part is the erosion of people's trust in the "world order" normally promoted by some countries for their own agenda. During this pandemic, however, countries are left to fend for themselves.

Globalization is simply free trade resulting in the movements of goods and services, imfomation, technology, jobs and labour across economic borders and cultures.

Convid 19 is shrouded in controversy as to the origin of the virus, with some countries accusing others as having developed them as biological weapon. Acrimony and suspicion may guide the relationship amongst certain countries and can actually limit the free flow of those basic components of globalization. Further more, travel restrictions placed by most countries on citizens of other countries, coupled with the fact that stocks and inventories across the globe are deflated without new products on the production line, little would be left for exchange. These could have far reaching consequences on globalization and its concommitant benefits.

James Stephen-Zira

Agreed.

Very good observation of the current situation.

James Stephen-Zira

Let us hope that scientific community can still exchange ideas without the fear of prosecution. When a Cure/Vaccine is found for COVID-19 and the world is safe again, the blaming game can be revisited if it benefiting the world.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations chief criticized the total lack of international coordination in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic on Tuesday and warned that the go-it-alone policy of many countries will not defeat the coronavirus.

Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that what needs to be done is to make countries understand that by acting in isolation “they are creating the situation that is getting out of control” — and that global coordination is key.

Coronavirus could return every year, and heat and summer are not necessarily expected to cause the rate of infection to drop. Word of the best Chinese scientists!

This coronavirus will not disappear, on the contrary, it could return as the flu every year. And let's not delude ourselves that with summer and heat the infections will collapse. To prefigure this optimistic scenario is the team of the best Chinese scientists.

Unlike SARS who disappeared within a year, COVID-19 could come back in waves. The reason is easy to say: this coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, is more subtle as it can strike even without causing obvious symptoms.

Globalization is simply free trade resulting in the movements of goods and services, information, technology, jobs and labour across economic borders and cultures James Stephen-Zira

Globalization suffered a great setback because of the recent tit for tat actions of the US and China. COVID-19 was one of the pretext!

The future of globalization after the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus (causing the Covid-19 disease) pandemic will be determined by how mankind will deal with this pandemic. The global, international development of international cooperation, information exchange, research conducted by international research teams, digitization and internetization of information transfer on a global scale, the development of new Internet media, etc. affects the progress of research in the field of SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus. What will be the results of these works, how the international cooperation will be carried out, will largely affect the globalization processes in the coming years.

Thank you.

Hermann Gruenwald

True but unfortunate

A clear indication that how the world leaders can influence the rest. when major powers are more inward looking , one can not blame smaller countries for fanning

the flame of nationalism.

Globalization is just working on increasing sales of the developed countries, not for solutions finding

The former head of the World Bank has warned the world could look like it did in 1900 if countries don’t work together to tackle the current crisis.

Robert Zoellick pointed to the rift between the US and China as a serious threat to the global economic recovery.

Ahmed Ismail Ebada

That might be true to some extent. However, globalization " supposed to" do a lot more than creating market for the rich countries!

Ahmed Ismail Ebada

Most important benefit of globalization is the cooperation and collaboration of all countries in various areas. If countries could have cooperated, maybe we would have been in a better shape than we are now dealing with coronavirus pandemic.

We already know that some globalization processes will accelerate, such as information globalization based on new Internet media and the increase in digitization of remote data transfer processes. On the other hand, some globalization processes will slow down, e.g. in the scope of modification and shortening of international supply chains and supplies of multi-segment production processes carried out in different countries.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

I'm agree with you Prof. Dariusz Prokopowicz.

My answer might seem a bit strange, but fare from "racism" the existence of "communitarianism" globally is not a bad view for the global well-being of the human family of the earth. Under the era of globalization, the young generation is just losing all kinds of references!

Tensions between the US and China came to the fore of the annual UN General Assembly in New York, with US President Donald Trump blaming China for the spread of coronavirus.

Thank you for your comments.

Let us hope that cool heads prevail, and chart a better path than the one we are heading now.

Unfortunately, the COVID pandemic has proved the immaturity of leaderships of many so-called advanced countries. Few leaders, not their people are responsible for the failure of the integrated campaign against the pandemic. Leaders showed that: Narrow and stinginess of leadership is directly proportional to the strength and wealth of the country.

There is more and more confusion, even in this question.

Dear Moaad Aboumalik, Thank you very much for confirming my theses. I am glad that we share a similar opinion on this issue. Best wishes,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Dear Mahmoud Moghavvemi, Thank you very much for your comment on my text, in which I expressed my view on the changes in globalization processes caused by the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic. Thank you for the interesting material provided on this subject.

Best regards,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

I would like to add a few words to my considerations above. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic accelerates the processes of digitization and internationalization of economic processes, the development of e-logistics, e-commerce, online payments, the use of instant messaging, videoconferencing applications, etc. Therefore, both during the current pandemic, in this current wave of the second pandemic, there are significant changes in the processes of globalization. The importance and character of the processes of economic and information globalization is growing. During and after the pandemic, there will be significant changes in the key determinants of economic and information globalization. In terms of economic globalization, international logistics supply chains are shortening. In addition, communication processes, economic, educational processes, etc. have been dominated by remote communication, conducting business activities via the Internet, the implementation of educational processes as part of online e-learning via the Internet, etc. Therefore, the ongoing digitization and Internetisation models the ongoing globalization processes. There are many indications that the current (October 2020) 2nd wave of the Coronavirus pandemic may continue for several weeks or months. Perhaps the current 2nd wave of the pandemic will last until spring 2021 and the pandemic may return in subsequent years and may be caused by subsequent mutated versions of the Coronavirus. The scale of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the processes of economic, information and other types of globalization may continue to grow. Best wishes,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

Globalization will survive, definitely.

But under this pandemic situation the future looks blur. Slowly but steadily it will recapitulate.

Hoping for the best with all positivity. Mahmoud Moghavvemi

Itishree Padhi

I am certainly more optimistic now than I was in October!

Let us all hope for the best to come.

Dear Mahmoud Moghavvemi,

Yes, there was a lot of positive news in November. Among other things, information provided by pharmaceutical companies Pfizer, Moderna, ... informing that at the end of this 2020, mass production of the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) vaccine will begin.

بالنسبة لما تم اثارته بشان مستقبل العولمة في زمن كوفيد 19 ففي البداية لابد من من التعرف علي ان العولمة يرجع تاريخها الي دور الشركات متعددة الجنسيات ومما لا شك فيه فان الفيروس قطع اوصال الارض وجعل من اصقاعها قطعا متناثرة وجعل العالم يبدو كالجزر المنعزلة لما تم اتخاذه من تدابير احترازية من منع للسفر والغاء للرحلات الجوية وغلق للحدود ومن ثم فان مستقبل العولمة يعتمد علي مدي التعاون الدولي والتضامن ومدي قدرة اشخاص المجتمع الدولي(دولا-ومنظمات) علي التضامن من اجل حماية الجنس البشري خاصة وان انتشار الوباء من البشر الي البشر بات امر مسلما به من قبل منظمة الصحة العالمية

ففي ظل صعوبة العثور علي لقاح للفيروس وصعوبة تتبع الفيروس والمطالبة بضرورة التضامن والتعاون من اجل درأ اخطاره يصبح من الصعوبة بمكان التنبؤ بمصير العولمة خاصة وان ميعاد او الاجل او الزمن الذي ينتهي عنده الفيروس غير محدد

"فمستقبل العولمة وتنظيمها او الاستمرار علي نهجها فانني اذكر مقولة استاذي اعطاه الله ومتعه بالعافية "وفي الختام فاننى مازلت مؤمنا بان موضوع البحث يحتاج الى مواجهة اكثر اهمية واعمق دلالة علاوة على نظرة انتقادية عميقة لا تتوقف عند حد الاطر الصياغية وانما تمتد الى ما وراء الشكلية القانونية نظرة تبرز دور الفكر القانونى ومقدرته الفذة على تصور المستقبل"([1])

([1]) د/عبد الواحد محمد الفار .(الالتزام الدولى بحماية البيئة البحرية دراسة قانونية ..).مرجع سابق.ص 153

The globalization will continue for sure. Agents or global actors compete each other to gain benefit from covid-19 tragedy especially pharmacy industry incorporated with states. Globalization is global capitalism where any agents in the world will struggle to gain capital and keep accumulate capital for the sake of their own greedy and put others in suffer. The big machine of capitalism is difficult to stop and will continue to exploit everything and suck everything such as the nature and human being and leave behind humanity. It is tragic life

many thanks

The development of vaccine and distribution in essence is globalization. therefore we can say globalization will continue as many people have migrated to different places and they need to be in touch with one another.

Kiprotich Kiptum

interesting comments from WHO

https://nypost.com/2021/01/18/world-in-moral-failure-over-covid-vax-distribution-who/

But globalization is an attempt to Americanize the world. But with regard to the Corona pandemic, the vaccine is from many places and thus it is an end to globalization.

Due to the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic, a lot will change in terms of economic globalization. International, intermodal logistics chains of supply and distribution are shortened.
