What impact will the coronavirus crisis have on the globe? This publication notes that while the crisis is bound to change the world, it will not do so in a vacuum. Instead, the impact will come in the form of modifying certain long-term trends that are already unfolding. The most important trend in this regard is the consolidation of the Eastern Hemisphere as the dominant geostrategic and geoeconomic entity on the globe, driven by the rise of China. For instance, the text’s author contends that the coronavirus crisis will likely further Europe’s relations with China and undermine those with the US, again reinforcing this trend.
