From the War on Terror to Climate Change - Democracies and The Four Emergencies of the 21st Century (so far)

From the War on Terror to Climate Change - Democracies and The Four Emergencies of the 21st Century (so far) Greene, Alan Author aut Text xx# 2022 Verfassungsblog 2022-05-18 eng From terrorism and economic crisis, to COVID-19 and climate change; the first decades of the 21st Century have seen democracies lurch from crisis to crisis, implementing legal and political responses to tackle the threat at hand. Many of these ostensibly emergency responses have, however, become permanent, raising profound challenges to the legitimacy of both the constitutional norms impacted by the emergency response, and the emergency response itself. This plea to emergency must, however, be interrogated; Ultimately, what is key to understanding permanent emergencies is not the threat but the decision-maker that claims such an emergency exists.
