Summary: | Abstract
The concept of “the crisis after the crisis” recently introduced in the academic debate refers to
the fact that, since the outbreak of the health crisis generated by SARS-CoV-2, the pandemic
has had a major impact on all economic, social, political and cultural activities of the daily
life, influencing significantly the global development. However, the sanitary crisis has
induced a multiple faceted crisis, with a number of implications whose consequences are to
impact on the further development of the human society as a whole.
Treated at first with a certain degree of “relaxation”, considering the stage we were facing at
the time, when both the scientific community and the decision-making actors of the
responsible organizations in the field were focusing on the management of the situation,
unprecedented at such a scale, on identifying the protocols and action strategies, respectively
on implementing recommendations for governments, companies and population, “the crisis
after the crisis” would really capture the researchers’ attention in the second part of the last
year. On the occasion of the Penser lʼEurope International Academic Seminar of the
Romanian Academy in October 2020, the phrase was retained internationally by two famous
economists, honorary members of the Romanian Academy: Jaime Gil Aluja, the president of
the Spanish Royal Academy of Economic and Financial Sciences, and Thierry de Montbrial,
member of the French Academy of Moral and Political Sciences.
The debate that took place on this occasion, obviously “energized” by the already visible
social, cultural, economic and sanitary effects, as well as the major impact of the pandemic
over the national and international macroeconomic indicators, extended significantly the field
of thought regarding the “cascading” consequences both of the infections and of the measures
to limit and especially to combat the spread of the virus, justifying once more the necessity to
quickly identify globally viable solutions adjusted to each national economic and
epidemiological bivectorial context to facilitate the return to a normal life as soon as possible |
