this discussion invites you to consider the validity of thisinterpretation of political globalization, by reflecting on thecurrent COVID-19 health pandemic and considering what the globalresponse to this crisis tells us about the relative power ofindividual states, and the role of IGOs like the World HealthOrganization (WHO). To what extent are we currently living in anera of global governance? To what extent do individual statesretain sovereignty? Are all states equally independent?

Compare and contrast twocountries, the best and worst, to find out how are some statesresponding to the COVID -19 crisis? At an individual level, whatare you doing to flatten the curve?
