Mini-series: The effect of COVID-19 on diplomacy
In 2020, only a few months into the global Covid-19 pandemic, academics in the Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance created a series of mini-lectures that discussed the effects of Covid-19 on a national and global scale. We shared these with our students to encourage discussion and debate.
