PROJECT DESCRIPTION

In April 2020, the Young Scholars Initiative of the Institute for New Economic Thinking, the Association for Promotion of Political Economy and Law, the International University College of Turin and Bocconi University, have launched a comparative study of legal-economic responses to COVID- 19 across jurisdictions.

The project involves a collaboration between young and senior scholars across the world to help shed light on the procedural, substantive and social dimensions of the regulatory responses to the pandemic, as they begin to affect toe post-COVID19 world. Based on an expert developed questionnaire the study provides a comprehensive map of reports that address levels of participation of constituencies in decision making, forms of exercising power and distribution of relief measures across society across several regulatory domains:

• State of Exception
• Surveillance and Compliance
• Legal-Financial Architecture
• Employee relief and protection of work
• Business relief and protection
• Alternatives

More than 120 young scholars from all regions of the world are currently working on this project.
