Abstract
As a result of globalization processes that have been accelerating since the end of the 20th century, modern crises tend to have cross-border and global nature, which means new challenges for states. The question of appropriate responses and crisis management strategies ultimately leads to the most classic dilemma of international relations, namely what is more effective in ensuring the survival of individual nations (prosperity and well-being): international cooperation or enhancing national capacities i.e., self-help. Accordingly, the focus of this analysis is on the responses to the Covid–19 epidemic, which can be defined at global, EU and Member State level.
