Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought to the fore debates on the use of the state of emergency, which puts on hold fundamental freedoms in situations of declared crisis and exceptionality. This panel will reflect upon various uses of the state of emergency, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and beyond. It will bring together a diverse set of papers analysing the politics of emergency and securitization; law-making under the state of emergency; as well as implications for democracy, protests and civil disobedience.
