A pesar de que en América Central los Estados miembros del Sistema de Integración Centroamericano (Sica) y, en el Caribe, los Estados miembros de la Caricom se caracterizan por su fragilidad, las dos regiones presentan un desempeño sorprendente en lo relativo a la gestión de la crisis sanitaria. Ponemos a prueba hipótesis relativas al aprendizaje institucional, a la ayuda exterior y a la distribución espacial, para explicar esta contradicción aparente de la resistencia ante la crisis sanitaria, a pesar de la debilidad de las estructuras regionales del Estado.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract: The global health crisis linked to Covid-19 (SARS-Cov-2) has put all political systems around the world under strain, challenged economic and social systems and put international and regional organizations to the test. Although in Central America and the Caribbean, the member states of the Central American Integration System (Sica) and of Caricom respectively are characterized by fragility and vulnerability, the two regions report an astonishing performance in the management of the health crisis. Testing hypotheses relating to institutional learning, foreign aid and spatial distribution, we explain this apparent contradiction within the resilience in the face of the health crisis despite the weakness of regional state structures.]]></p></abstract>
