Abstract: COVID-19 is ‘stabilization in reverse’ and is accelerating conflict dynamics. Unsurprisingly, conflict-affected and fragile states are already highly vulnerable to shocks and destabilizing trends. The pandemic is seriously disrupting, not only health systems, but also governance, the economy, and human and food security.
