Summary/Abstract: Published in 2020, this book gives a penetrating glimpse of the perception of the measures undertaken to counter the pandemic at the time of its first wave. This insight is provided through a particularly clear reflection on the development of emergency powers in a time of sanitary crisis. The inventory of the measures taken on this occasion, while not comprehensive and not attempting to be so, also brings an analysis of both the impact of the crisis on human rights and the ways of governing. It also offers an insight into the risks and requirements that such a pandemic and such emergency powers have brought along.
