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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePandemocracy in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridging 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn times of uncertainty, \u003ci\u003ePandemocracy in Europe\u003c\/i\u003e provides analysis and answers to the democratic challenges of the coronavirus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatthias C Kettemann\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Innovation, Theory and Philosophy of Law at the Institute for Theory and Future of Law at the University of Innsbruck, Austria, and research program head at the Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI), Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKonrad Lachmayer\u003c\/b\u003e is Vice Dean for Research and Professor of Public Law, European Law and Foundations of Law at the Sigmund Freud University, Vienna, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 June 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHart Publishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781509946402\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e448\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.72\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51369453748364,"sku":"9781509946402","price":53.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_96d9fbec-5d97-4aaf-827c-9688a2e90f51.jpg?v=1783879207","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781509946402","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
