This collection of essays seeks to theorize the politics of the COVID-19 pandemic in international relations (IR). The contributions are driven by questions such as: How can theorizing help us understand these unsettled times? What kind of crisis is this? What shapes its politics? What remains the same and what has been unsettled or unsettling? In addressing such questions, each of the participants considers what we may already know about the pandemic as well as what might be ignored or missed. Collectively, the forum pushes at the interdisciplinary boundaries of IR theorizing itself and, in so doing, the participants hope to engender meaningful understandings of a world in crisis and encourage expansive ways of thinking about the times that lie beyond.

论坛：动荡时期的理论思考：COVID-19 及以后

这本论文集旨在将 COVID-19 大流行在国际关系 (IR) 中的政治理论化。这些贡献是由以下问题驱动的：理论化如何帮助我们理解这些动荡的时代？这是怎样的危机？是什么塑造了它的政治？什么是不变的，什么是不安或不安的？在解决这些问题时，每位参与者都会考虑我们可能已经了解的有关大流行的信息以及可能被忽略或遗漏的信息。总的来说，该论坛推动了国际关系理论本身的跨学科界限，通过这样做，参与者希望对危机中的世界产生有意义的理解，并鼓励对超越时代的广泛思考。
