Then the economic aspects quickly became essential. The announced arrival of vaccines was often presented as a wonderful opportunity for a planetary solidarity of states holding hands, allowing the banishment of any idea of geopolitical power relations between States. But this has not been the case. Wouldn’t Covid-19 have become a strong geopolitical object? Would it not have led to important geopolitical recompositions?
