This volume analyses South American regional and international cooperation during the COVID19 crisis started in 2020.
Across thirteen chapters a collection of leading experts address how regional collaboration has developed, evolved, and recoiled. The chapters explore the state of regionalism at the pandemic surge and the challenges and opportunities this situation has opened for regional and international cooperation. Authors analyze the role of extra-regional powers and traditional regional leaders during the pandemic, identifying the extent to which regional cooperation has been possible across several policy agendas. They argue that fragmented visions of regionalism, ideological polarization, and weak leadership, has prevailed from before the pandemic which, accompanied by adverse interactions among major powers, has ensured that cooperation has remained bilateral rather than regional. Ultimately all these factors have created a complex scenario in which disintegration dynamics have emerged, darkening, even more, the South American regional panorama.
Regional and International Cooperation in South America After COVID will be an invaluable resource for students, scholars and policy specialists of regionalism and regional integration, Latin American studies, international relations and international political economy.
"This edited volume addresses two topical issues to understand the ongoing puzzles of Latin American politics and regionalism: How to explain the ‘regional malaise’ and decline of post-hegemonic regionalism in Latin America? What have been the immediate implications of the Covid-19 crisis? What lessons can be learned, as related to other issue-areas beyond health, in order to repair and revive regional cooperation and coordination, in the post-Covid-19 area? What are the challenges and opportunities?"
Arie Kacowicz, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
"A timely and welcome contribution to the literature on regionalism in Latin America. This volume provides a novel and much-needed re-thinking of the challenges of regional cooperation initiatives beyond trade and security, and their effectiveness in resolving transnational problems in the post-pandemic world order."
Laura Gomez-Mera, Associate Professor, University of Miami
"Deciancio and Quiliconi have successfully embarked on the difficult task of making sense of the South American responses to the pandemic of COVID-19. By bringing together a group of forefront specialists in Latin American regionalism, their book is an indispensable read for those interested in knowing how actors and institutions responded to the pandemic, why collective action fell short, and how they could do better."
Stefano Palestini, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
