with reactions or actions from politicians and citizens, must place attention on other forms of communication that the Internet has created and will continue to create.

It is also essential to continue analysing what was stated by Baack (2015) in relation to the fact that information is a condition for political participation. Therefore, since social networks offer information in a more open and accessible way on issues as complex as international politics, it is necessary to delve deeper into the study of whether these social networks truly favour greater citizen participation in the decision-making of states on international political issues.

Another issue to study is the role of social networks as a source of information for the actions of governments that might lead other media, such as CNN, to use them as its primary source, as well as the interest of governments in not using traditional media to reach their audiences, since there is a willingness on the part of decision-makers to interact with their citizens without the participation of a third party, and moreover, much of the information that reaches national and foreign audiences is generated from official social networks.

Thus, it can be said that the subject under study has not been exhausted. Instead, it opens up new research possibilities that must continue to be addressed.
