Resumo: : Latin America has suffered greatly from the negative effects generated by the measures adopted to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 contagion. In the region, there was a reduction in production, in international trade, among other consequences that led to economic recession. To reverse this scenario, governments adopted several counter-cyclical economic measures. However, the question is: if countries united to face the crisis with the adoption of joint actions, would it be possible to accelerate the process of economic recovery in the region? This article seeks to show that the deepening of regional integration can be an effective measure to accelerate the process of recovery of economic activity. This is because intraregional trade has a great emphasis on manufactures, which ensure a greater spillover effect on the economy. For the analysis, it starts from a quantitative analysis of economic and qualitative data on global value chains to understand how integration can contribute to economic recovery. The article is presented in three parts. The first section presents the effects caused by the health crisis on the economy. The second part discusses the benefits that integration can bring. In the third section, the actions to be implemented to deepen the integration are shown. The study reveals the existence of obstacles that can be overcome if there is political will. For this reason, there is an urgent need for governments to mobilize in favor of a regional project that could benefit all Latin America.

Para reverter tal cenário, os governos adotaram diversas medidas econômicas anticíclicas. Entretanto, indaga-se: se os países se unissem para enfrentar a crise com a adoção de ações conjuntas seria possível acelerar o processo de recuperação econômica na região? Esse artigo procura mostrar que o aprofundamento da integração regional pode ser uma medida eficaz para acelerar o processo de recuperação da atividade econômica. Isso porque o comércio intrarregional tem um grande destaque para manufaturas, que garantem um maior efeito de transbordamento sobre a economia. Para a análise, parte-se de uma análise quantitativa de dados econômicos e qualitativa sobre cadeias globais de valor para compreender como a integração pode contribuir para a recuperação econômica. O artigo é apresentado em três partes. A primeira seção apresenta os efeitos provocados pela crise sanitária na economia. A segunda parte discute sobre os benefícios que a integração pode trazer. Na terceira seção, são mostradas as ações a serem implementadas para o aprofundamento da integração. O estudo revela a existência de obstáculos possíveis de serem superados desde que haja vontade política. Por esse motivo, mostra-se a urgência de os governos se mobilizem em prol de um projeto regional que poderá beneficiar toda a América Latina.Universidade Federal do Rio Grande2022-12-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.furg.br/cn/article/view/1471010.14295/rcn.v4i2.14710Campos Neutrais - Revista Latino-Americana de Relações Internacionais; v. 4 n. 2 (2022): Dossiê Desafios Contemporâneos da América Latina; 79 - 932596-1314reponame:Campos Neutraisinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG)instacron:FURGporhttps://periodicos.furg.br/cn/article/view/14710/9926Copyright (c) 2022 Alessandra Cavalcante de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Alessandra Cavalcante de 2022-12-16T16:21:17Zoai:periodicos.furg.br:article/14710Revistahttps://periodicos.furg.br/cnPUBhttps://periodicos.furg.br/cn/oai2596-13142596-1314opendoar:2022-12-16T16:21:17Campos Neutrais - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande (FURG)false
