This paper proposes the use of MOOCs as an educational tool and international strategy to end the educational inequalities and the digital divide. The methodology focuses on the analysis of academic literature and previous research on the field of the new international digital tools. As well, this paper focuses on the case-study and compared strategies followed by the United States, the European Union and Japan. It tries to define and contextualize their decisions, risks and opportunities. The novelty of the work is the approach to MOOCs envisaged as a tool for the new digital cooperation and diplomacy and its implications for the possible reduction of socio-educational inequalities.
