Research output: Contribution to JournalEditorialAcademic

Abstract

How can governing in response to a global pandemic affect the living together of
people and peoples in national and international communities? What does good
– or bad – government within political, legal and medical institutions look like in
such a predicament? This broad question is taken up in this special issue in no less
than thirteen contributions, with a specific focus on the concept of solidarity, a
moral-legal-political notion which is often invoked in situations in which the bonds
within a community are put under serious pressure.
