Abstract
The first two decades of this century have been starkly marked by all sorts of emergencies: terrorism, financial crisis, natural disasters, migrations, climate change, finally the Covid,19 pandemic. As a consequence of globalization and global geopolitics, the effects of these emergencies have increased, requiring interventions at different levels, including legal responses. At the same time, this global tension is frequently challenged by a more local approach to economic and social issues. This volume collects the papers presented ad the XXVI biennial conference of the Italian Association of Comparative Law, devoted to the investigation of the consequences of these emergencies for comparative law. Can one reasonably talk about a "comparative law of emergencies"? if “emergencies” have become a structural feature of our globalized world, should lawyers (and comparative lawyers) ,traditionally “path dependent” and used to normalize any occurrence ,change their general approach, and get used to rather rapid and widespread modifications of the legal environment, passing from one “emergency” to another?I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
