Why were some Latin American countries more successful at containing the pandemic’s most devastating health outcomes? We argue that national governments that were more collaborative in their response to COVID-19 were more successful in reducing death rates. Our original dataset offers a novel attempt to operationalise collaborative governance (CG). We undertake simple statistical tests to measure the relationship between CG and COVID-19-related mortality rates in Latin America. We then choose three case studies to assess whether collaboration was meaningful in practice. Initial evidence suggests governments that pursued CG were more effective at containing mortality rates early on in the pandemic. The collaboration helped to foster cooperation over resources; buy time to prepare for a potential case surge; and produce a unified message regarding what citizens should do to prevent viral spread. Resumen: ¿Cómo los gobiernos dan cuenta de problemas complejos y multidimensionales como la pandemia COVID-19? ¿Por qué algunos países de América Latina han sido más exitosos al contener los efectos sanitarios más devastadores? En este trabajo se argumenta que los gobiernos nacionales que fueron más colaborativos en su respuesta al COVID-19 han sido más exitosos al reducir las tasas de mortalidad. Se propone una base de datos original que ofrece un intento de operacionalizar la gobernanza colaborativa (GC). Se realizan testeos estadísticos simples que miden la relación entre GC y la tasa de mortalidad relacionada a COVID-19 en América Latina. Luego se hacen tres estudios de caso para observar si la colaboración ha sido sustantiva en la práctica. La evidencia inicial sugiere que los gobiernos que impulsaron la GC han sido más efectivos en contener las tasas de mortalidad al comienzo de la pandemia. La colaboración ayudó a: impulsar cooperación sobre los recursos; ganar tiempo para prepararse para un potencial crecimiento de casos; y producir un mensaje unificado para la ciudadanía sobre comportamientos para evitar la expansión viral. 2023-09-07T11:45:28Z 2023-09-07T11:45:28Z 2021 Artículo Cyr, J. et al.
