Rezensionen

'The COVID-19 pandemic tested the boundaries of constitutionalism throughout the world, and no more so can this be seen than in the varied and contrasting actions taken by the Visegrad Four. This volume provides an invaluable contribution to the debates on states of emergency, locating them within the wider context of response to crisis and the protection of fundamental rights'.
