| Description | This chapter outlines an historical narrative of Central American presidential summitry. It presents an empirical analysis of how and why the crisis in presidential summitry came about. The dynamic set in motion by the initial series of presidential summits has gradually vanished to the point that the summits' usefulness for the consolidation of Central American Integration System (SICA) as an institution has also diminished. There are five factors that can explain this crisis in presidential summitry: alternative instruments of regional diplomacy, minimal effectiveness, variable geometry integration, pragmatic alienation, and suboptimal decision making. Central American presidential summits started with the creation of the Central American States Organization (ODECA). The typology identifies four types of high-level summit: ordinary summits, extraordinary summits, summits with third parties, and differentiated summits. In fact, concerning institutionalization, SICA has made progress outside the structure of presidential summits and without the intervention of member states or assistance from national bureaucracies.
