Abstract
The aim of the paper is to investigate how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected security aspects in the Republic of Croatia. The Covid-19 pandemic started in the Chinese city of Wuhan and spread very quickly to other countries. Due to the rapid spread of the virus, the World Health Organization announced the Covid-19 outbreak a pandemic on 11 March 2020. That is why many countries imposed restrictions, that is lockdowns. The paper presents and explains the process of securitization that the states needed to undergo in order to protect human health. The paper also presents a case study of the Republic of Croatia, i.e., how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the economic and security paradigm of the Republic of Croatia. The last part discusses the consequences of the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic.
