Description
A confluence of factors -- the pandemic and uneven recovery, growing great-power rivalries, and economic uncertainty -- are creating a dynamic context for regionalism and regional organisations in the Americas. This panel examines changes in, and challenges for, regional cooperation in North America, South America, and the Western Hemisphere more broadly. How do efforts at regional governance fit within practices and institutions of global governance? The panel explores how different regional constructs and organizations have confronted shared challenges including migration, health, and global economic competition. Across the papers, the authors explore the difficulties of establishing credibility and sustainability for regional projects in the face of transnational challenges and political change.
