ABSTRACT The challenge that the COVID-19 pandemic has posed to the extant socio-economic and political system had created a degree of disjunct that may be more difficult to reconcile without significant paradigmatic and concomitant policy change. While this question applies to the entire world, the present special issue is focused on rethinking some select facets of these questions in the Indian context. In doing so, the papers presented here locate the crisis that has been exacerbated by the pandemic in the longer contextual experience of their relevant area and reflect on some possibilities for the post-COVID-19 era.

《印度评论》特刊简介：对后 Covid-19 时代的政治和政策的思考：分析 2020 年第一波浪潮中的连续性和断裂性

摘要 COVID-19 大流行给现存的社会经济和政治体系带来的挑战造成了一定程度的脱节，如果没有重大的范式和伴随的政策变化，可能更难以调和。虽然这个问题适用于整个世界，但本期特刊的重点是在印度背景下重新思考这些问题的某些方面。在此过程中，本文介绍的论文将大流行加剧的危机定位于其相关领域的长期背景经验，并反思后 COVID-19 时代的一些可能性。
