The global pandemic of COVID-19 brought with it phenomena such as vaccine nationalism that questioned the capabilities and purpose of multilateral institutions defending the liberal order, such as the World Health Organization (WHO). In this sense, two WHO mechanisms were put to the test in their ability to regulate and distribute vaccines: the Emergency Use List (EUL) and the Global Access Fund for COVID-19 Vaccines (Covax ). In a context of vaccine shortages, different developing countries such as Peru had difficulties obtaining vaccines against COVID-19, seeing the need to negotiate with countries challenging the liberal order such as Russia. Thus, this thesis postulates the following research question: What was the role of the WHO in the negotiation process for the purchase of the Sputnik V vaccine in Peru during 2020-2021? To answer this question, this thesis uses concepts of neoliberalism and neorealism to analyze the influence of the performance of the regulation mechanisms EUL and Covax distribution in the negotiation of the Peruvian State. Secondly, with the objective of reconstructing the facts of said negotiation, the theory of the Public Policy Formulation cycle and the Process Tracing method were applied. Finally, it is concluded that both the WHO's multilateral regulation and distribution mechanisms of vaccines would not have decisively affected the negotiation of Peru for the Sputnik V vaccine, but only partially. In other words, the regulation mechanism had little influence on the purchase authorization of Sputnik V, but had considerable relevance in its suspension. Because, the shortage of vaccines at the beginning, made the executive take less into account the recommendations of the WHO. While later with the realization of a greater number of vaccines, the recommendations of the WHO gained more weight, to the point that they were the justification that the executive took to suspend the purchase of Sputnik V. On the other hand, it was verified that the little effectiveness in the distribution mechanism influenced the search of the Peruvian State to negotiate the purchase of vaccines without discriminating the origin, including Sputnik V.
