International Security, Covid Crisis, Copenhagen Security Theory, Extended Security, Post-Covid

The spread of the Coronavirus and its biological, political, economic, and global concerns, which have affected massive interactions and exchanges, indicate that threats to public health are part of the security dilemma; And the need for an accurate understanding of it today goes beyond academic debates and scientific books and articles. These threats, whether artificial or in the form of biological weapons, as well as random and surprising, can give new formulation to collective life, decisions and policies. The pervasiveness of the Corona crisis in the world, in addition to theories of international relations, has also posed new challenges to the security of the international system. On the one hand, part of the knowledge in the field of public health has reached the field of humanities and specifically international relations; On the other hand, the debate within the paradigm of the field over the concept of international security, globalization, and its future has reached its peak. The question of international relations thinkers about what the post-Covid world order will be like and what kind of security it requires different answers depending on their theoretical approach. It seems that the current state of the world has led to different views and different answers due to the uncertainty of conditions, effects, approaches, and perspectives. This difference of opinion is not only due to differences in the way they look at human nature and the nature of society and their approach to international politics and security; Rather, the issue is a bit more ambiguous, and the coordinates of the current situation and its paradoxical nature provide evidence to various schools of thought with different views on international relations and the system that governs it. This article tries to examine international security in the post-corona world.
