VALDES UGALDE, Francisco. Covid-19 and the Post-political Void. Toward a State beyond the Nation. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2021, vol.66, n.242, pp.85-108.  Epub Oct 25, 2021. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2021.242.79329.

Is a post-national public sphere forming? This article answers this question based on the observation of the Covid-19 pandemic’s pressure on the global order and the nation-state. Using a description of the erratic and fragmented use of power for the management of the pandemic, this work examines the transformation of sovereignty in the history of the nation-state, addresses the situation of human rights and the “justice gap” present in this process anew, and offers an assessment of the probable alternatives at play in global trends shaping public power in the aftermath of the pandemic.

Keywords : Covid-19; globalization; nation-state; sovereignty; human rights; justice gap; public sphere.
