Abstract

The virus pandemic created a serious global health crisis, leaving a great number of people to deal with infection and death, but it also exposed significant social and economic problems that the world created in the process of globalization. This article aims to explore policy options for international development cooperation in response to the corona virus pandemic. Before presenting policy options, this paper will, first, identify policy failures of different governments and international agencies and global economic vulnerabilities that led a corona virus epidemic to the global pandemic. It will, secondly, examine policy constraints that will face global communities. Lastly, the paper will suggest policy options to the international development community to support developing countries to deal with policy challenges.
