چکیده

COVID-19 has brought about a more nuanced view in which natural phenomena, such as disease, influence international relations. International relations theories tend to analyze current events worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic, as one of these events that has affected the political dimension of countries, is analyzed within four main international relations theories (realism, liberalism, constructivism, and world system theory). In these theories we argue that international relations theories are offer informed predictions as to how states (what realists focus on it), organizations (what liberalism focus on it), structure and agent (what constructivism focus on it) and world system (what world system theory focus on it) would respond to the pandemic and what is their solution to this problem in these problem-solving theories.
