The impact of Covid-19 on Human Security

CeSI - Centro Studi Internazionali, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, has launched a project dedicated to understanding how the pandemic has affected Human Security, both at a theoretical-conceptual and practical level.

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, in fact, has been multiform, heterogeneous, diversified and capable of producing direct effects on the stability of individuals, communities and states. Trying to measure it or to interpret it in a sectorial or monothematic perspective is dangerous and misleading, as can easily bring to lose the overall vision, the pervasiveness and the globality of the phenomenon. On the contrary, only a holistic analysis under the interpretative lens of the concept of Human Security appears capable of offering a more extensive and in-depth look at the Covid topic.
