Resumen

Public and social actions amid COVID-19 involve complex governance challenges –processes through which political and social participants seek to coordinate alternatives and make decisions in a critical or uncertain scenario–. This essay analyzes the Regional Governance and Social Coordination Observatory to contest COVID-19 in Yucatan, Mexico. The Observatory established a local governance model to analyze the experiences in which heterogeneous actors organize and cooperate to address the problems from the pandemic. We aim to demonstrate that this model is capable of examining and characterizing these initiatives, and discuss its potential as a tool to improve local governance processes. Keywords: local governance, social observatory, pandemic, COVID-19, Yucatan
