THE 21st-CENTURY GLOBALIZATION AND COVID-19 PANDEMIC: MULTIDIMENTIONAL IMPACTS

Abstract

For the world's human beings, war always brings about the greatest concern because of its heavy destruction in term of human resource and property. However, in a broad view, epidemic diseases are the factor which causes death of larger numbers of people and far greater socio-economic devastation than the war, especially in the current globalization trend. Through updates of the current news as well as the analysis and synthesis of globalization, it has been initially shown that globalization has made the Covid-19 pandemic spread rapidly and widely throughout the world at an unparalleled speed in the history. At the same time, the Covid-19 pandemic also had a strong impact on human life in the era of 21^st-century globalization. Grasping these multidimensional impacts will be the basis for countries to propose ideal and effective solutions.
