This open access book explains why a democratic reckoning will
start when European societies win the fight against COVID-19. Have
democracies successfully mastered the challenges of the pandemic?
How has the coronavirus impacted democratic principles, processes
and values? At the heels of the worst public health crisis in
living memory, this book shines an unforgiving light on the
side-lining of parliaments, the ruling by governmental decrees and
the disenfranchisement of the people in the name of fighting
COVID-19. Pandemocracy in Europe situates the dramatic impact of
COVID-19, and the fight against the virus, on Europe's democracies.
Throughout its 17 contributions the book sets the theoretical stage
and answers the democratic questions engaged by health emergencies.
Seven national case studies - UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Hungary,
Switzerland, and France - show, each time with a pronounced focus
on a particular element of democracy, how different states reacted
to the pandemic. The book also shifts the analytical gaze beyond
the nation state towards international settings, looking at the
effects on the European Union and considering the impact on
populist movements. Bridging disciplines and uniting a stellar cast
of scholars on democracy, rule of law and constitutionalism, the
book provides contours and nuances to a year of debates in
political science, international relations and law on the impact of
the virus on democracies. In times of uncertainty, Pandemocracy in
Europe provides analysis and answers to the democratic challenges
of the coronavirus. The ebook editions of this book are available
