The Covid-19 pandemic has served as a litmus test for regionalist projects, putting the capacity of regional organizations to respond to this emergency in clear view. Administering timely and deliberate responses to this crisis is pivotal to redefining and reasserting their legitimacy in the public eye. Conversely, failure in this area could escalate pre-existing trends of fragmentation and erosion. The papers in this panel will examine this unique moment, focusing on its implications for the EU's role globally, along with its implications on migration governance in regards to a new framing discourse founded on a human and humane approach. Additionally, the experiences of other regional organizations, specifically those in Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as in Africa, will be examined as they are useful in gauging the elements contributing to a successful or failed promotion of a regional response.
