Desintegração econômica e fragmentação da governança regional na América do Sul em tempos de Covid-19

Resumo

The aim of this article is to analyze the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on trade and governance in South America. The hypothesis is that the crisis generated by the Covid-19 has exacerbated previous trends of economic disintegration and political fragmentation. We analyze how regional organizations in Africa, Central America, South America and Europe responded to the Covid-19 pandemic. In the case of South America, we analyzed the role of the Forum for the Progress of South America (Prosur) to provide responses to the crisis, considering the initiatives that were implemented since the emergence of the Covid-19, its agenda for Health, the interactions between governments and its institutional framework. We also analyzed the intra-regional trade dynamics, with emphasis on exports and imports from Brazil with its neighboring countries. We conclude that there is a spiral between commercial disintegration and fragmentation of governance, which feeds back and tends to extend the crisis in South America more than in other regions of the world.
