Emergency and EU Law: The Case of Covid 19, Climate Change Migration

A fascinating exploration of how EU law should respond in the face of unprecedented emergencies such as COVID-19, or the migration crisis. 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.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
