New book provides deep dive into the vulnerabilities exposed by the pandemic
Is the global response to the pandemic effective? Is it inclusive? Three professors from the University of Ottawa, along with a leading global health ethicist and former Health Minister Jane Philpott, today published a book of essays analyzing the COVID-19 pandemic from the standpoint of law, ethics, and public policy. In doing so, they highlight the vulnerabilities and interdependencies that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed.
The book, titled , examines the pandemic鈥檚 impact on federalism, accountability, civil liberties, equity, labour, and global health. It includes 43 chapters featuring some that address topics such as ageism, mental health, contagion containment, contact tracing apps, and global health to name a few.

In the book, the editors explain that "More than anything, this volume documents the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and the legal, ethical, and policy responses to it. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those neglected or harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance, and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all.鈥
The collection of timely essays provides new insights on how countries should govern in a pandemic and what lessons must be learned to help inform upcoming recovery plans, whether they pertain to public health policy, social equity, or the economy.
