Relações diplomáticas e internacionais em pandemias: um estudo sobre o cenário mundial durante a COVID-19

Abstract

The modern life, globalization and relations between countries was upended by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2 / Covid-19), which could be the most important event of the early 21st century. This paper analyzes the information inherent to health and diplomatic and international relations in the context of the Covid-19 advance. To this end, the research method applied was mixed: with a qualitative character, operationalized through the collection of secondary data; and quantitative, with grouping and analysis of tables and graphs on the progress of the pandemic. In order to interpret different contents, the content analysis technique was used. The objective of the research was to analyze the data inherent to health and to diplomatic and international relations in the context of the advance of Covid-19. The results demonstrate that China's delay in sounding the alarm and the initial reluctance to allow specialists from the World Health Organization (WHO) to enter the country, contributed to the global response being disordered and, to a large extent, uncoordinated. The diplomatic union between the countries during the pandemic did not work as expected, especially on the part of China and the United States, which instead of cooperating, attacked each other sideways.
