Initially treated as a sanitary issue, the pandemic has gained political, economic, financial, social, cultural, environmental and legal dimensions impacting diverse actions and governmental decisions worldwide. In light of these characteristics, facing the COVID-19 pandemic inherently demands international cooperation. However, the current international scenario imposes challenges upon interna- tional cooperation due to deglobalization, which is understood as an explanation of the present stage of globalization, and which has highlighted flaws and gaps in the cooperative architecture of the international scenario. The global governance issues related to deglobalization in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic seem to concern the (i) legal nature of the World Health Or- ganization (WHO) and of its norms, (ii) the growth of multipolarity, (iii) institutional inertia, (iv) the complexity of problems, and (v) fragmentation. It is a varied array of challenges that impose difficulties or obstacles upon effective international coop- eration. Cooperation is paramount in facing a global phenomenon such as the COVID- 19 pandemic, which demands concerted actions. In this sense, this article aims to aid in understanding the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, in light of deglobalization, to both assist in is preparedness to better face them as well as to look for new avenues to improve international cooperation and global governance. * Liliana Lyra Jubilut has a PhD and a Masters' in International Law from Universidade de Sao Paulo and an LLM in International Legal Studies from the New York University School of Law.
