Summary/Abstract: “Some warn that the disease will be remembered not only as a human catastrophe, but also as a geopolitical turning-point away from the West. Are they right?” (Minton Beddoes, 2020). Irrespective of the answer, this question raises the unsettling issue of the viability of the current international order. This is not a singular voice.

Analyses focusing on the geopolitical impact of the current pandemic often employ apocalyptical imagery.
