The COVID-19 pandemic can be defined as a “black swan” because it disrupted the economic model known and adopted almost worldwide, changing both production processes and consumption patterns, as well as mankind living habits. For instance, this led to increased digitalization in day-to-day activities, starting from the interaction between the state and its citizens to that within enterprises and households. The COVID-19 pandemic marks a turning point not only in the global economy, but also in the international relations system. The power shifts have been accelerated, while some paradoxes emerged. Despite the fact that China was the source of the contagion, it actually managed to get on the other side more powerful economically, thus catalysing trends we thought likely implausible on short and medium term, while for many others the interval proved and remains critical.
