The "new reality" is characterised by an increased reliance on digital communication due to the changes resulting from the COVID-19 (coronavirus) health pandemic. As a consequence, the new reality refers to a current substantial decrease in international travel and mobility with new social patterns such as social distancing and working from home becoming the norm. This has affected emerging markets particularly those with strong trade ties to Europe, the United States and Australia. Whilst the dependency of these trade networks might be based on mutual need, the current health pandemic has caused many difficulties. This is due to the uncertainty in the cause and duration of the coronavirus. As a consequence much hesitation has resulted amongst businesses involve in international markets due to the unknown effects of the health crisis. The aim of this special journal issue is to understand in more depth the new reality particularly for international markets based on networks with Europe, the United States, Australia, and Emerging markets. Additionally, the emphasis could be on other international markets and the way they are adapting to the "new normal".
