The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on international diplomacy, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the future of multilateralism. In response to the pandemic, global cooperation and solidarity were crucial in mitigating the health and socio-economic effects, but these efforts were slow to mobilize and lacked strong political leadership. This book aims to examine the lessons learned from the period spanning the World Health Organization's first declaration of a public health emergency of international concern in January 2020 to the United Nations' 75th Anniversary in October 2020.

During this critical period, key areas of diplomacy, including multilateral diplomacy, the rule of law, sustainable development, economics and financing, digital governance, and peace and security, were examined. Each chapter in the book provides an overview of the current situation in these areas, followed by a constructive analysis of the pandemic's impact and recommendations for the future.

The practical focus and future orientation of the book are particularly important, as it offers pragmatism and guidance for building back better in COVID response plans while maintaining focus on global commitments to sustainable development and the future of the United Nations.

Written by a team of authors with extensive experience in international public policy and the establishment of global agendas at the United Nations, this book is a valuable resource for professionals and policymakers involved in diplomatic roles, as well as students and scholars interested in the future of international relations.
