This moderated panel discussion consists of the authors of the policy analyses from the latest IIR publication, Czech Interests in 2020: Analyses IIR. This edited volume assessed the impacts of the COVID−19 pandemic on several selected areas: human rights, autocratisation, governance and soft power, security, space policy, interactions with China, extremism, participation and sustainable development. The aim was to analyse whether a ‘recovery’ will mean a return to the pre-COVID state or whether there will be any differences in the future, and also for the experts to offer some policy prescriptions to the Czech government.
