Abstract

Objectives: The study aims to analyze the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on international interactions, especially from the perspective of theoretical interpretations of theories of international relations, by analysing the effects of this crisis on the realistic interactions of international relations and their theoretical dimensions..

Methods: The study relied on the tools of the descriptive approach to international policy characterization from the perspective of different theories in the field as well as the analytical approach in analysing contemporary international events and demonstrating the change in interpretations and theoretical assumptions after the coronavirus crisis.

Results: Although the coronavirus crisis is mainly a health crisis, it has affected interactions between countries, especially large ones, and thus the course of theoretical analysis of international relations, respectively. The study shows that coronavirus pandemic has led to the reversal of many theoretical doctrines that have governed international interactions in previous periods, asserting that the state of conflict and suspicion among States is a continuing and undeniable situation. It also emphasizes on the vital role of the national state in both national and international contexts.

Conclusions: The study recommended emphasizing the importance of international cooperation as an urgent option for dealing with new risks under globalization in order to protect all humanity from such risks.
