The COVID-19 pandemic not only ravaged human bodies but also had
profound and possibly enduring effects on the health of political
and legal systems, economies and societies. Almost overnight,
governments imposed the severest restrictions in modern times on
rights and freedoms, elections, parliaments and courts. Legal and
political institutions struggled to adapt, creating a catalyst for
democratic decline and catastrophic increases in poverty and
inequality. This handbook analyses the global pandemic response
through five themes: governance and democracy; human rights; the
rule of law; science, public trust and decision making; and states
of emergency and exception. Containing 12 thematic commentaries and
25 chapters on countries of diverse size, wealth and experience of
COVID-19, it represents the combined effort of more than 50
contributors, including leading scholars and rising voices in the
fields of constitutional, international, public health, human
rights and comparative law, as well as political science, and
science and technology studies. Taking stock after the onset of
global emergency, this book provides essential analysis for
politicians, policy-makers, jurists, civil society organisations,
academics, students and practitioners at both national and
international level on the best, and most concerning, practices
adopted in response to COVID-19 - and key insights into how states
and multilateral institutions should reform, adapt and prepare for
future emergencies.
