The current coronavirus pandemic fundamentally reshapes existing
debates and processes in international development. The
unprecedented (and rapidly evolving) crisis is generating a number
of substantial challenges for developing economies. Governments in
low-income nations often find it extremely hard to cope with the
increased demand for health services, make prompt decisions and put
them into action, protect vulnerable segments of society and offer
immediate relief to affected economic sectors. This book provides a
series of reflective chapters that demonstrate how several areas of
international development have been severely affected by the
Covid-19 outbreak. It provides an in-depth critical discussion on
how the current pandemic influences several development outcomes
(in the domains of poverty/inequality, health, education,
migration, formal/informal employment, (de)globalisation, the
extractive sector, climate change, water and the global financial
system). Each chapter draws policy recommendations on relevant
interventions that can alleviate the identified negative
repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic, especially for the most
vulnerable communities in the Global South.
