La risposta all’emergenza sanitaria Covid-19 nei paesi a maggioranza musulmana: alcune considerazioni comparative

The response to the Covid-19 health emergency in Muslim-majority countries: some comparative remarks

Abstract

The paper addresses some constitutional implications of state authorities’ legal responses to the health emergency related to Covid-19
pandemic in Muslim-majority countries. In particular, two main keys of interpretation will be used in order to understand the political and constitutional dynamics at work in highly differentiated legal orders: on the one hand, the expansion of the Executive Power and the limitation of constitutional rights and safeguards; on the other hand, the implications of religion in the management of the crisis and the adoption of restrictive measures.
