Reviews

Mika Aaltola has made a highly important contribution to the understanding of how pandemics impact geopolitics. He shows how the COVID-19 pandemic has done so in ways similar to previous - and probably future - pandemics. Mark N. Katz, Professor, George Mason University Schar School of Policy and Government, USA; Chairperson, Scientific Advisory Council, Finnish Institute of International Affairs. Thinking back to 2012 about the impact of major pandemics on global politics was a visionary act. Revisited in the light of COVID-19, this book vindicates all the research hypotheses put forward by the author ten years ago. Concise and brilliant! Christian Lequesne, Sciences Po, Paris, France.
