A panel discussion with authors Prof. Deirdre Curtin (EUI Law), Tommaso Fia (EUI Law) and Sarah Tas (EUI Law), chaired by co-editors Francisco de Abreu Duarte (EUI) and Francesca Palmiotto (Centre for Fundamental Rights, Hertie School). Speakers will discuss the regulatory landscape in a post-Covid 19 world, based on their contribution to ‘Sovereignty, Technology and Governance after COVID-19: Legal Challenges in a Post-Pandemic Europe’.
About the book:
This book imagines how Europe might re-organise and re-group after the COVID-19 crisis by assessing its effectiveness when responding to it. For this purpose, it directs its focus on sovereignty challenges, technological challenges and governance challenges. These three challenges do not present hermetic legal problems, but rather intersect and connect on different levels. This edited volume demonstrate this by examining the relationship between public and private powers, illustrating how the rise of technocratic authority is deeply connected to the choice of technological solutions. It illustrates how constitutional decisions taken during states of emergency give rise to private governance challenges related to cybersecurity and data protection. The book includes contributions by experts from the fields of EU governance, data protection, and technology.
