COVID-19, pandemic, diplomacy, multilateralism, disinformation, digitalisation, WHO, China, USAAbstract
The objective of this document is to identify the actions which Peru should take, as an international actor, towards the COVID-19 pandemic. The text has three sections: the first section analyzes the context in which COVID-19 appears; the second section develops the implicit problem of the pandemic as a crisis of confidence; and the last section displays the arguments for actions related to multilateralism and digital media. We conclude that, in order to cope with COVID-19, Peru needs its diplomacy, while it needs to be more digital.
