Description:
This volume discusses the constitutional models of emergency and human rights protection in each of the Visegrad (V4) countries and illustrates how these models and the general framework of rights protection materialised in the limitations of the selected human rights during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Review Quotes:
'The COVID-19 pandemic tested the boundaries of constitutionalism throughout the world, and no more so can this be seen than in the varied and contrasting actions taken by the Visegrad Four. This volume provides an invaluable contribution to the debates on states of emergency, locating them within the wider context of response to crisis and the protection of fundamental rights'.
