DUSSORT, María Noel. India in the Pandemic: The Impacts on its Status as an Emerging Power . Temas debates (En línea) [online]. 2020, n.40, suppl.1, pp.487-493. ISSN 1853-984X.

The Covid-19 pandemic shocked the world. The impact of the disease was critical and it has evolved fast in some developed countries of Europe (Spain, Italy, Germany, Great Britain, among others) and Asia (North Korea, New Zealand, Japan), causing a health crisis never seen before in the contemporary world. However, the growth in the number of cases in developing countries of South Asia, Africa and Latin America started slowly and apparently controlled. However, as months went by, developing countries have seen the increase in number of cases surpassing the aforementioned developed ones. India exemplifies the course that the contagion effect of Covid-19 has taken globally. The question that arises in those of us who study this country is how to control the spread of a highly contagious disease, in the second most populous nation in the world and in a context of deep socioeconomic deficiencies? The objective of this essay is to analyse the evolution of the pandemic in India and the measures its government has taken to face this “new normal”. In addition, it is considered the impacts that this crisis may have on India’s category of emerging power in a transition to a new international order.
