Michael Adler, University of Edinburgh"The pandemic has required governments in most jurisdictions to introduce emergency powers to restrict freedom of association and freedom of movement. These are key civil rights and the social contract with the public must always be that such restrictions should be time limited, proportionate and have democratic oversight. Alas, in too many places, governments have used the pandemic as cover to expand their power and erode human rights. This book is a wake up call on the way law is misused in periods of crisis to the detriment of citizens the world over."
