Details

How should EU law respond to emergencies? More specifically, to what degree can fundamental rights be suspended in order to respond to an unprecedented crises?

These questions are at the core of this open access book, asked initially in response to COVID-19 and its resulting restrictions but then as a more general conceptual examination. It looks at the question over five parts; opening with two general aspects: constitutional law and governance. It then takes a more applied approach, looking at three case studies: migration, climate change, and, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic. Fascinating, insightful and considered, it ensures lessons can be learnt.
