“Pandemic : what International Studies Tells Us”, webinar on Pandemic co-sponsored with the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies, Cornell University

The outbreak of a novel coronavirus may be the most significant world event of our century. It’s a pandemic--a Greek word that means "all people." Around the world, all of us are experiencing this shared breakdown of public health, economics, and international cooperation.
