Transnational Solidarity in Crisis: How Law Shapes Critical Transformations of Our Time

doi:10.5771/9783748919865

Summary

Crises are privileged moments of solidarization and desolidarisation. On one hand, solidarity-based institutions are often at issue in times of crises. On the other hand, solidarity is invoked to mitigate or overcome crises. This puts political and legal authorities, in which solidarity is negotiated, under pressure. This book analyses the impact of such dynamics from a legal and political science perspective by focusing on three societal crises of our time: economic crises, migration crises, and pandemics. The authors combine theoretical and empirical analysis with legal considerations to highlight the role of institutions and law in shaping the dynamic between solidarity and crisis.
