COVID-19 como una amenaza a la seguridad internacional

Resumen

Después de la Guerra Fría se produjo una transición en el paradigma de las relaciones internacionales, entonces fue necesario redefinir lo que se consideraba una amenaza para la seguridad internacional. Como resul-tado, se estableció la doctrina de la seguridad humana, que sugiere que la agenda de seguridad internacional debería centrarse en las personas y sus necesidades, más que en los Estados. En el mundo globalizado e interrelacionado que vivimos hoy en día, las enfermedades infecciosas se propagan rápidamente y sus consecuencias pueden ser catastróficas. Por lo tanto, las pandemias deben considerarse una amenaza para la seguridad internacional. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo examinar la pandemia del COVID 19 como aquello. Discutimos el desarrollo de la se-guridad internacional hacia la seguridad humana; la seguridad sanitaria como marco teórico; la evolución de la actual pandemia en el contexto del paradigma moderno de seguridad internacional y la aplicación de la seguridad sanitaria internacional; y, la securitización de la pandemia. Como resultado, con base en la evidencia presentada, es claro que el CO-VID 19 tiene un efecto severo en la comunidad internacional, tanto en vi-das humanas como en la economía global, y ha sido securitizada. Como consecuencia, esta debe ser abordada con enfoque internacional y servir como un precedente para futuras amenazas a la seguridad sanitaria.
