Thoughts...

 Although the flow of information is largely free outside China, the movement of people, goods and capital is not.
Travel is restricted, limiting the scope to find work, inspect plants and drum up orders. Some 90% of people live in countries with largely closed borders. Many governments will open up only to countries with similar health protocols:
The pandemic will politicise travel and migration and entrench a bias towards self-reliance
Inward-looking vs globalization

Moreover, a fractured world will make solving global problems harder, including finding a vaccine and securing an economic recovery.

Challenges of a New Disorder

Global flows of capital, trade and services, information and people had already dramatically altered the nature of politics and the opportunities for nation-states to deal with or influence events. The traditional nation-states approach was already no longer sufficient for explaining the developments in today’s globalized world.  Therefore, innovative approaches are necessary. This paper views the extent that global governance is necessary to deal with the complexities of these dynamic developments.  It introduces you to the concept of global flows and global governance.

The New Mobilities Paradigm

 I want to write about the 'new mobilities paradigm' that rules over our lives.  I would not call it "new" anymore as mobilities has been influencing our lives socially, physically, culturally, and politically.

Mobilising (global) democracy: a political reading of mobility between universal rights and the mob in this reading, mobility is part of global societal and economic developments that cannot be contained by territorial boundaries. They set the socio-economic conditions against which questions of governance and authority beyond the nation-state emerge.

In line with functionalist, regional integration and transnational politics approaches, cross-border mobility and circulation require forms of governing that move beyond the nation-state. Since they cannot be contained within the territorial state, they present a challenge to national governments.
