description The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has questioned the dominant international security strategies, and also highlighted the immense contradictions in our global way of life. From a human security perspective, this investigation analyses the pandemic as a risk and threat to social life on a global scale. The conceptual categories of human security and global risk are used to understand the inequalities, structural violence and vulnerabilities that accompany the health emergency and make it a total social crisis. Some of the main risk trends that the pandemic represents are quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. It is proposed that the global pandemic is leading to the suppression of the loopholes of security and certainty provided by modernity, whose contradictions have led us to suffer the most important planetary catastrophe in recent history. Likewise, the pandemic has shown that the strategies anchored to traditional security are not the most appropriate to face the consequences that the current health crisis will have. Therefore, to respond to these risks and threats, it is essential to develop new perspectives on security.

Este artículo tiene por objetivo analizar, desde la perspectiva de la seguridad humana, la pandemia como riesgo y amenaza para la vida social a escala global. Se retoman las categorías conceptuales de seguridad humana y riesgo global, para comprender las desigualdades, violencias estructurales y vulnerabilidades que acompañan la emergencia sanitaria y que perpetuarán sus afectaciones en el tiempo, para hacer de ella una crisis social total. Mediante las metodologías cuantitativa y cualitativa, se examinan algunas de las principales tendencias de riesgo que la pandemia representa. La hipótesis es que, con la pandemia, se suprimen los resquicios de seguridad y certeza brindados por la modernidad, cuyas contradicciones provocaron la catástrofe planetaria más importante en la historia reciente. Asimismo, la pandemia muestra que las estrategias ancladas a la seguridad tradicional no son las más apropiadas para enfrentar las consecuencias que tendrá la crisis sanitaria. La reivindicación de perspectivas multidimensionales sobre la seguridad se hace imprescindible, para responder a riesgos y amenazas. Abstract The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has questioned the dominant international security strategies, and also highlighted the immense contradictions in our global way of life. From a human security perspective, this investigation analyses the pandemic as a risk and threat to social life on a global scale. The conceptual categories of human security and global risk are used to understand the inequalities, structural violence and vulnerabilities that accompany the health emergency and make it a total social crisis. Some of the main risk trends that the pandemic represents are quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. It is proposed that the global pandemic is leading to the suppression of the loopholes of security and certainty provided by modernity, whose contradictions have led us to suffer the most important planetary catastrophe in recent history. Likewise, the pandemic has shown that the strategies anchored to traditional security are not the most appropriate to face the consequences that the current health crisis will have. Therefore, to respond to these risks and threats, it is essential to develop new perspectives on security.A pandemia SARS COV2 não apenas colocou em questão as estratégias de segurança globais dominantes como pôs relevo sobre as imensas contradições presentes em nosso modo de vida global. Nesse sentido, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a atual pandemia como uma ameaça à segurança internacional. A reflexão retoma as categorias conceituais de segurança humana e risco global, buscando compreender as desigualdades, a violência estrutural e as vulnerabilidades humanas que acompanham a emergência sanitária e que a tornam uma crise social total. Para isso, as principais tendências de risco que a pandemia representa são analisadas quantitativa e qualitativamente. Em suma, a reflexão propõe que a pandemia global está nos levando a suprimir os resquícios de segurança e certeza proporcionadas pela modernidade, cujas contradições nos levaram a sofrer a catástrofe planetária mais importante da história recente e da qual será difícil que saiamos. Da mesma forma, a pandemia mostrou que as estratégias ancoradas na segurança tradicional não são as mais adequadas para enfrentar as consequências que se desdobrarão da crise de saúde, pelo que o desenvolvimento de novas perspetivas de segurança é essencial para responder a esses riscos e ameaças.FLACSO - Sede Ecuador2021-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/htmlhttps://revistas.flacsoandes.edu.ec/urvio/article/view/498510.17141/urvio.31.2021.4985URVIO.
