Will the COVID-19 pandemic be the final straw in the dismantling of the American-European alliance? Does the coronavirus crisis threaten the Pax-Americana order that has dominated Western politics since the end of World War II? To what extent is it changing power relations, as it creates new norms for assessing national strength and prestige? Questions like these that are now part of the global conversation.
The recent news that EU states were intending to bar the entry of U.S. citizens due to America’s failure to combat the spread of COVID-19 suggests a jolting response to these queries. It is deeply ironic that citizens of the country that liberated Western Europe from Nazi occupation 75 years ago and played a central role in rebuilding the region as an economic powerhouse are now unwelcome in Europe. This grim milestone is more than just a blow to American prestige; it highlights profound skepticism about the ability of the U.S. to lead globally, and new criteria about who deserves to do so.
