What might the world look like in the aftermath of COVID-19? Almost every aspect of society will change after the pandemic, but if we learn lessons then life can be better. Featuring expert authors from across academia and civil society, this book offers ideas that might put us on alternative paths for positive social change. A rapid intervention into current commentary and debate, Life After COVID-19 looks at a wide range of topical issues including the state, cooperation, work, money, travel and care. It invites us to see the pandemic as a dress rehearsal for the larger problem of climate change, and it provides an opportunity to think about what we can improve and how rapidly we can make changes.

This book explores how human rights, democracy and the rule of law can be protected during a pandemic and how emergency powers can best be ended once it wanes. Written by an expert on constitutional law and human rights, this accessible book will shape how governments, opposition, courts and society as a whole view future pandemic emergency powers.

POLICING THE PANDEMIC How Public Health Becomes Public Order L A M B RO S FAT S I S A N D M E L AY N A L A M B COVID-19 COLLECTION
Written in the context of the #BlackLivesMatter protests, this book explores why law enforcement responses to a public health emergency are prioritised over welfare provision and what this tells us about the state’s criminal justice institutions. Informing scholarly, civic and activist thinking on the political nature of policing, it reveals how increasing police powers disproportionately affect black people and suggests alternative ways of designing public safety beyond a law enforcement context.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the practical challenges of UK devolution through the delivery of support to those affected by the virus. Morphet explores how the public perception of the decentralized governments has changed during the pandemic and uses case studies to discuss the actions taken by central government to undermine the devolution statement. She assesses how the role of local government in supporting communities has been forced to evolve despite cuts from central government and makes a vital contribution to the debate on the future options for the UK within the context of Brexit and what follows.
