Regionalism in Latin America continues to form an elusive and changing reality. When it comes to addressing social challenges, the potential of regional integration is far from being reached. The excellent and innovative set of studies in this book sheds light on this topic and serves as an important contribution to the literature. Prof. Jos� Antonio Sanahuja Complutense University, Spain The COVID-19 pandemic brought to the surface vulnerabilities in health systems across Latin America. As the pandemic subsided, deep-seated violence and delayed responses to the preservation of environmental ecosystems resurfaced as part of a crucial challenge in the region. The timely analysis of the chapters in this volume is a reminder of the urgency of regional responses to three different interrelated crises that Latin American states struggle to address. The book will become an essential reading for analyzing Latin American regionalism. Prof. Roberto Dom�nguez Suffolk University Despite recent turbulence in the international system and Latin American integration, the pandemic increased the need for robust coordination mechanisms at the regional level. This book is a timely contribution toward understanding the novel challenges that Latin America is facing in the post-pandemic world order. The book explores regional solutions to enduring problems in the areas of health, security, and environmental protection, anchoring this vast subject matter into critically grounded research. Dr. Devika Misra O. P. Jindal Global University, India Latin America is perhaps the best example of how developing countries can manage regional affairs in a world dominated by superpowers. The chapters in the book are indeed monumental, and the variety of topics covered is very impressive. This edited volume is not just an interesting read but an essential compilation of works for anyone who wants to call oneself an expert in Latin America. Dr. Arkadiy Eremin Webster University With scholarly rigour, this excellent volume adeptly examines Latin America's collective responses to diverse challenges emerging during the COVID-19 crisis in agendas sometimes unattended by the literature on regionalism. Representing a significant contribution to the debate, it arrives at a timely juncture, engaging scholars, policymakers, and students of regional governance from the region and beyond. Dr. Melisa Deciancio Latin American Social Sciences Institute (FLACSO) Argentina
