About the volume

The Viral World is a collection of articles and essays that paint a wide, anthropological canvas of the impact of the Novel Coronavirus on geopolitics and world trade, public health and policy, socio-economic interactions; in fact, on human behaviour, lives and livelihoods, in broad strokes. The Viral World is the first of a five-part series of policy essays focused on the COVID-19 pandemic. Read it here.


The GP-ORF Series is an ongoing collaboration between ORF and the Global Policy Journal (GP) — a peer-reviewed academic journal based at Durham University, published in association with Wiley-Blackwell. See all publications from the GP-ORF Series.
