The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as
COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every
continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social
interactions, government functioning and relations between
countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to
hold in one's mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort
such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This
book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made
visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal,
ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for
people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly
and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march;
vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal
structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the
global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully,
COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our
policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery
to include all, not just some. Published in English with some
chapters in French.
