区域性国际组织在抗击新冠肺炎疫情中的作用及局限——以欧盟为例

The Effects and Limitations of Regional International Organizations in Fighting against COVID-19:A Case Study on the EU

新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)是21世纪全人类面临的一次重大考验。面对来势汹汹的疫情,各国齐心协力,携手应对;全球性国际组织统筹协调,凝聚合力。在此过程中,区域性国际组织发挥了不可小觑的作用,其中最具代表性的便是欧盟。无论在区域抗疫还是全球抗疫中,欧盟均作出了重要贡献。与此同时,欧盟的一些固有问题或短板也通过此次疫情凸显了出来,比如:面对突发公共卫生事件时的响应速度缓慢,对内不能团结一致,存在保护主义倾向,等等。本文试图通过欧盟这一高度一体化的区域性国际组织探讨区域性国际组织在抗击新冠疫情中的作用和局限。

COVID-19 is a major challenge to all humankind in the 21st century.Faced with the onslaught of the epidemic,countries have joined hands;international organizations have coordinated and pooled their efforts.In this process,regional international organizations have also played a significant role,the most representative example of which is the European Union,which has made important contributions to both the regional and global fight against the epidemic.At the same time,however,some inherent problems or shortcomings of the EU have also surfaced,such as the slow response to public health emergencies,lack of internal solidarity and protectionist tendencies.This paper discusses the role and limitations of regional international organizations in the fight against COVID-19 by studying the EU,a highly integrated regional international organization.
