Özet:

 This study comparatively analyzes the activities of the Caribbean Community CARICOM and the Southern African Development Community SADC in the fight against the COVID-19 coronavirus disease pandemic and crisis management processes. Crisis management processes regarding the COVID-19 outbreak have been implemented with actions taken at various levels. The regional level is among the levels where the struggle against the pandemic has been handled. In this regard, regional organizations have carried out activities to strengthen the resistance of their regions against the virus and reduce the negative effects of the epidemic on societies. In this context, during the pandemic period, CARICOM and SADC, the members of which are mostly developing states, have attempted to establish common policies at the regional level and promote the resistance of societies against the virus, despite the constraints of their regions in dealing with disasters and crises in economic and geographical terms. In this sense, the questions of what kind of actions have CARICOM and SADC engaged in during the COVID-19 pandemic and what are the variables that determine the actions of CARICOM and SADC in the governance of the COVID-19 health crisis at the regional level become meaningful to comprehend the role of these organizations in the regional governance related the health-related crises. The study seeks answers to the above-mentioned questions in the context of the relationship between health and regionalism.

 Bu çalışma Karayipler Topluluğu CARICOM ve Güney Afrika Kalkınma Topluluğu SADC örgütlerinin, COVID-19 koronavirüs hastalığı salgınıyla mücadele ve kriz yönetimi süreçlerinde gerçekleştirdikleri faaliyetleri ortaya koymakta ve karşılaştırmalı şekilde analiz etmektedir. COVID-19 salgınına ilişkin kriz yönetim süreçleri, çeşitli düzeyde gerçekleştirilen eylemlerle sürdürülmüştür. Bölgesel düzey, salgınla mücadelenin ele alındığı düzeylerden biridir. Bu hususta bölgesel örgütler, salgına karşı kendi bölgelerinin direncini güçlendirmeye ve salgının toplumlar üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini azaltmaya ilişkin faaliyetlerde bulunmuştur. Bu kapsamda salgın döneminde, üyelik kompozisyonu açısından büyük ölçüde gelişmekte olan devletlerin üye olduğu CARICOM ve SADC, bulundukları bölgelerin ekonomik ve coğrafi açıdan afet ve krizlerle mücadele konusundaki kısıtlarına rağmen, bölgesel düzeyde ortak politikaların belirlenmesi ve toplumların virüse karşı dayanımının artırılmasına ilişkin girişimler gerçekleştirmiştir. Bu bağlamda CARICOM ve SADC, COVID-19 salgını döneminde ne tür faaliyetlerde bulunmuştur ve CARICOM ve SADCnin COVID-19 sağlık krizinin bölgesel düzeyde yönetişimine ilişkin faaliyetlerini belirleyen değişkenler nelerdir soruları, sağlıkla ilgili kriz dönemlerinde iki örgütün bölgesel yönetişim bakımından rolünü anlayabilmek açısından anlamlı hâle gelmektedir. Çalışma yukarıda belirtilen sorulara, sağlık ile bölgeselcilik arasındaki ilişki bağlamında yanıt aramaktadır.
