Legal policy and pandemics

The Global Pandemic Network Journal is a publication of the Global Pandemic Network designed to host primarily but not exclusively the contributions of the network’s research and promote comparative debate on institutional response to the pandemic. With the unique mission to reflect on cutting edge themes related to the systemic changes led by the pandemic, the Journal strives to be at the forefront of legal scholarship, sparking conversation, encouraging reflection, and shaping discussions of the most important and relevant legal issues through a rigorous scholarship selection and editing process. The research topics included are in the area of social sciences and cover law, political science, sociology, and history of institutions (ERC sectors SH2 and SH3). The journal hosts articles on pandemic and government response; sustainable development; markets and circular economy; digitalization; climate change, environmental protection, and human rights. This journal will serve as essential reading for scholars, policy-makers, lawyers, institutions, NGOs, civil servants, and the general public around the world interested in learning more about the global response to pandemics and a wide range of related issues.
