    REVISTA DE CIENCIA POLÍTICA / VOLUMEN 41 / N° 2 / 2021 / 291-320 COVID IN COLOMBIA: A CRISIS OF GovERNABILITY AND RESPONSE COVID en Colombia: una crisis de gobernabilidad y de respuesta MANUELA MUÑOZ Texas A&M University, United States Artículos MÓNICA PACHÓN PolíticCienciaa Universidad de los Andes, Colombia ABSTRACT The explosive growth of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020 presented a sharp challenge to the institutional and economic capacity of countries around the world. This article examines efforts to confront and cope with the pandemic in a specific case, that of Colombia. It identifies a crisis of governability in the country that has been exacerbated by the pandemic, but which preceded COVID-19 and is likely to outlast it as well. We describe the context in which the pandemic unfolded and the government’s response, which has laid bare the fragility of Colombia’s socioeconom- ic and political achievements, evidencing deeper structural problems. The country is subject to a high level of informality in the economy’s, a lack of social safety nets for more than half of the population, and the ongoing presence of violence and illegal groups. With the pandemic added to this backdrop, social tensions rose, and blame games and confrontations between national and subnational governments became part of the daily news. Policy measures were undertaken to reduce the number of in- fections, including extensive lockdowns; while assessments of their effectiveness in meeting their stated objectives vary, there has undeniably been significant regression on economic and social indicators. The dynamics of the 2022 elections will undoubt- edly be marked by the consequences of the COVID-19 emergency.

    August 28, 2001 «Title» «FirstName» «LastName» «Address 1» «City», «State» «PostalCode» «Salutation» As you are aware, 2001 marks the 1700th Anniversary of Armenia's conversion of Christianity. For 1700 years, Armenians have walked in the light of our Lord, keeping steadfast in their faith despite all obstacles. The record of our people remains a proud milestone in worldwide Christian history. How vital it is, then, that we celebrate it in an appropriate manner. As a part of an extensive program of activities during this year, our Diocese is organizing a series of Armenian choral musical concerts, which will be held in New York and other key American cities with large Armenian populations. I would like to ask you as part of a select group who realizes the importance of such a project to please consider serving as a Sponsor for the New York Concert, scheduled to be held at St. Vartan Cathedral on Friday, October 19,2001, by donating the sum of$1,000. Our 1700th Anniversary Celebration Committee is inviting the Komitas Chamber Choir of Armenia (associated with Yerevan's prestigious Komitas State Conservatory) to tour America during Fall2001. The 25-member chorus will sing under the baton of its dynamic conductor, Professor Hovhannes Mirzoyan. I am confident that this concert tour will be an effective and powerful way to bring our 1700th anniversary celebration-no less than our faith and heritage-to the attention of a much wider audience in this great country. It will also be a wonderful cultural opportunity for our local communities. I look forward to your strong support of this project in New York City.

  • Testimony of Ambassador Masao Nakayama Permanent Representative of the Federated States of Micronesia to the United Nations
    Testimony of Ambassador Masao Nakayama Permanent Representative of the Federated States of Micronesia to the United Nations U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Asia, the Pacific, and Global Environment “Climate Change and Vulnerable Societies: A Post-Bali Overview” February 27, 2008 Room 2200, Rayburn House Office Building Introduction Thank you, Chairman Faleomavaega, and members of the subcommittee, for the opportunity to testify on behalf of the Federated States of Micronesia, at your hearing on the international climate change negotiations, and on the path forward towards a post-2012 climate treaty. I also would like to express the sincere condolences of our leaders and our people to the family, friends, and colleagues of Congressman Tom Lantos, who provided a model of what a political leader could and should be. How long will Micronesia exist? The topic of climate change is very much on the minds of our leaders and our people in Micronesia. Climate change is about our very existence—our existence as a country—a country with rich traditions that since time immemorial have helped unite our generous and peaceful people into a unique and successful society. We now must ask ourselves, “How long will our country, and our culture, continue to exist?” All low-lying island and coastal countries are vulnerable. Micronesia is not alone. We are representative of all vulnerable countries around the world, including those in the Alliance of Small Island States, and the many other low-lying coastal countries that face the growing risk of extinction from abrupt climate change and the sea-level rise that it will cause.
