Description:
Contingency planning and resilience are of prime importance to the late modern risk state, with implications for law and for governance arrangements. This book seeks to analyse and criticise the legal developments in contingencies and resilience on a comparative basis, which engages with not only law and constitutionalism but also political theory and policy, including relations between public and private, national and local, and civil and military. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Human Rights.
