  The Caribbean against the Covid19: A global crisis and local solutions

  "Études caribéennes" Journal #48

  Officially affected by the COVID19 pandemic in early March 2020, the Caribbean Basin is concerned about the fragility of its social fabric and the wide disparities in public health policies from one State to another, which make a comprehensive response at the regional level impossible. The situation worsened at the end of May with the withdrawal of US funding to the World Health Organization (WHO), finally condemning the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), an emblematic figure in the fight against epidemics in the islands and on the continent, to a drastic reduction in its interventions, or even its disappearance. In this way, this issue seeks to respond to various concerns about the regional impact of the pandemic, around the central issue: to what extent the economic, political and/or social impact hovers around unresolved points in the construction of Caribbean Nation-States that prevent them from facing the crisis.

  Chronic illness in the South

  Experience, knowledge and policy on the fringes of global health

  Ce numéro thématique interroge le phénomène social particulier qu’est la maladie chronique en prenant en considération des contextes extrêmement variés. Il ne s’agit pas d’un « sud » considéré comme homogène, mais de situations qui sont traversées par des contextes et des enjeux diversifiés qu’il sera nécessaire de préciser afin de comprendre en quoi et comment le statut « négligé » des maladies chroniques affecte les sujets malades. L’objectif est d’appréhender les formes et temporalités de la maladie chronique en partant du constat d’une certaine « négligence » dans l’agenda de la santé globale, impliquant des manques d’infrastructures, de savoirs et de visibilité.
