This study reflects on the difficulties, within international organizations, in coordinating public health policies and freedom restrictions, both of which adopted in a disorderly manner by countries to fight the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract

This study reflects on the difficulties, within international organizations, in coordinating public health policies and freedom restrictions, both of which adopted in a disorderly manner by countries to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. We problematize, based on multilateralism, the lack of a coordinated intergovernmental structure and the difficulties of international organizations in administrating joint actions, open to local contexts, to face the pandemic. Furthermore, it is strengthened the perception that international politics is divided between disorder and the domination – or hegemony – of certain States and their alliances, on the one hand; and, on the other hand, several forms of fragile and, often transient, cooperation. Thus, the research points out the need for instruments to forward international coordination in facing the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the appreciation of local production chains to reduce their dependence on international markets. Based on such an issue and applying the hypothetical-deductive method, this work discusses the relationships between the global and the local, approached by human rights violations and public health in the pandemic context. In this sense, as a proposition of the present analysis, a dialogical re-approach between countries.

Busca-se refletir acerca das dificuldades na coordenação, em âmbito dos organismos internacionais, das políticas públicas sanitárias e de restrições às liberdades, as quais foram adotadas de maneira desordenada pelos países para o enfrentamento da pandemia da Covid-19. Problematiza-se, a partir do multilateralismo, a falta de uma estrutura intergovernamental coordenada e as dificuldades dos organismos internacionais na organização de ações conjuntas e abertas aos contextos locais para o enfrentamento da pandemia. Fortalece-se a percepção de que a política internacional está dividida entre a desordem e o domínio ou hegemonia de determinados Estados e suas alianças de um lado e, por outro lado, várias formas de cooperação frágil e frequentemente transitórias. Dessa forma, a pesquisa aponta a necessidade de captação de ferramentas que caminhem para a coordenação internacional no enfrentamento da pandemia Covid-19, bem como a valorização das cadeias produtivas locais, a fim de reduzir sua dependência dos mercados internacionais. A partir desta problemática, e pelo método hipotético- -dedutivo, a pesquisa discute as relações entre o global e o local abordadas a partir das violações de direitos humanos e da saúde pública no contexto pandêmico. Nesse sentido, como proposição da presente análise, sugere-se a reaproximação dialógica entre países.
