CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS GLOBAL THINKING COLLECTION
EDICIONES UCC
COVID-19 is a variety of the known coronavirus that is having a great impact on the world. Its consequences are still unpredictable on different levels, but it is certain that humanity is going to be advocated to rethink much of it grounds and purposes. On this basis, countries around the world have the actual need to propose global solutions to the ongoing crisis that may be effective only if they are thought collectively, not within boundaries that keep on isolating us and privileging the individual over the community.
This implies a redesign of the globalization process that is being developed since almost 30 years, not so focused on market economy and finance speculation that had the undesirable consequence of aggravating social inequalities, but on the reaffirmation of a Well-Being oriented State that gives the necessary relevance to public health policy and accelerate the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development agenda 2016-2030.
The needed adjustments to the globalization process imply, also, the reconsiderations of other subjects like the realignment of world leaderships, governability efficiency, the rise of authoritarianisms, the magnitude of the damage done to productive chaining in global value chains, the possibility of a global economy slowdown, the accomplishment of the environmental commitments from the Paris Agreement, in other themes.
