Case Study: Response To The Zombie Epidemic
U.S. Response to the Zombie Epidemic
It is evident that the recent outbreak of the z-virus that is sweeping across the Asian continent has created a zombie epidemic that has claimed many human lives and continues to spread rapidly. The number of those affected by the virus is currently in the thousands and continues to grow by the hour. If left unchecked, this epidemic could spread across the ocean and into our territories within days. Seeing how fast the disease spreads and how catastrophic it could become if it were to enter the U.S., we need to take prompt and decisive actions to halt the virus on its path of destruction. Thus, it is imperative that the president of the United States orders our borders to be shut down, avoid any cooperation …show more content…
That is because, according to the realist nature of world politics, a containment strategy needs to be proposed as a means of limiting the territorial expansion of the undead (Drezner: p. 40). If we do not act fast in shutting down all modes of transportation (or at least limit the number of travelers in out of the U.S. to the absolute necessary), then the affected humans could cross over and embark on an uncontrollable spree of feasting on the brains of American citizens. By severely constricting the passage of travelers to and from our nation, we ensure that the living dead will be forced to invade other continents and will be unable to cross over into …show more content…
This plan could be feasible in that, according to the theory presented by Drezner, human-zombie alliances of convenience could be just as likely to emerge as human-human alliances in the future (p. 42). This could be a great opportunity for the U.S. to lead a no-blame proxy war against the rogue state of North Korea that is currently threatening to attack targets in the United States and South Korea, despite the armistice agreement they signed with South Korea in
