Covid-19, Organizaçõe internacionais, Operações de paz, Gerenciamento de CrisesResumo
Os desafios sem precedentes provocados pela pandemia do Coronavírus (Covid-19) em 2020 afetaram a gestão das missões e operações de paz em curso. Para compreender como as organizações governamentais internacionais equilibraram as prioridades existentes em matéria de manutenção da paz com o cumprimento da suas novas responsabilidades, induzidas pela pandemia, este artigo questiona: como as organizações gerenciaram seus compromissos em matéria de operações emissões de paz em resposta à pandemia da Covid-19? Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, o artigo explora comparativamente como as Nações Unidas, a União Europeia e a União Africana responderam à crise e o que explica a variação entre elas. Utiliza o conceito de ‘capacidade de resposta’ para analisar o argumento que a rapidez da reação e as respostas à pandemia foram concebidas em consonância com as características do processo de tomada de decisão e as prioridades de cadaorganização durante a crise. Foram utilizados dados de documentos oficiais e fontes secundárias para descrever os produtos gerados por cada organização no nível político-estratégico, bem como as práticas relacionadas às operações e missões de manutenção da paz no terreno.
