Zusammenfassung

Government responses to Covid-19 have included some of the most powerful peacetime interventions in economic, social and political life. In a comparison of four parliaments, an international team of researchers will examine how the chambers' law-making and scrutiny functions as well as their role as central arenas for public debate were affected during and after the crisis. This longer-term perspective beyond the crisis will allow drawing lessons about the resilience of parliamentary institutions in liberal democracies facing policy challenges characterized by extremely high risks.
