Lex-Atlas: Covid-19: A Comparative Study of National Legal Responses to COVID-19.

该项目的核心成果是由14位国际知名学者撰写的一份纲要、一个数据库和一份最终报告，内容涉及全球所有地区80个国家应对Covid-19的法律措施。《简编》包括80份由当地法律专家撰写的有关国家应对新冠肺炎疫情的国别报告，内容包括：(1)宪法/法律框架；(2)机构（如立法机关、法院）的运作；（三）采取的核心公共卫生措施；（四）采取的社会经济措施；(5)尊重公民自由和弱势群体的关键法律措施。该数据库整理了关于这些主题的确定和可量化的数据，使用户能够进行全面的跨国比较，并与其他已知的社会经济、政治和卫生数据进行对比。最后报告将包括：对数据进行分析性概述，确定应对趋势及其与主要社会经济和健康指标的相关性；和2。对各种主题领域（如隐私，公民自由，移民）进行深入的批判性分析，提出与不同主题以及整体国家表现相关的最佳和最差做法。可交付成果为评估英国对Covid-19的应对以及未来的大流行防范提供了关键的比较数据，特别是涉及UKRI确定的几个关键主题和问题：经济、性别和种族不平等；安全和正义；国家复苏和转型；接触者追踪;以及国家安全和外交政策。该项目的传播计划包括为英国议会和白厅的决策提供清晰可行的影响途径。”在www.lexatlas-c19.org网站上，媒体更友好：“Lex-Atlas: Covid-19 （LAC19）项目于2020年秋季启动，将对世界各国对Covid-19的法律反应进行学术分析。此书将于2021年更新，并将由牛津大学出版社开放获取。它是由伦敦大学学院、伦敦国王学院、马克斯普朗克比较公法研究所牵头，并得到英国艺术与人文研究委员会慷慨支持的，来自世界各地的法律专家广泛合作的产物。该项目的动机是需要全面概述各国应对Covid-19的法律措施。这一大流行病有许多方面，各国的应对措施差别很大。除了在流行病方面的表现外，各国使用紧急权力的方式也各不相同，出现了不同类型的体制混乱，公共卫生措施各不相同，社会政策的覆盖面和对弱势群体人权需求的回应也各不相同。为了评估过去的政治选择和为未来的流行病做好准备，需要对这些法律应对措施进行学术综述。对它们进行详细编目也将是对大流行病历史的重要贡献。然而，主题的复杂性和流动性本质上需要一种非传统的学术方法。为了使国际比较有价值，需要杰出的国家法律专家之间的高度协调，需要一个采用一致方法的大型编辑团队，以及随着法律和政策根据大流行病的演变而改变国家形象的能力。该项目力求通过法律学者之间的全球合作来满足这一需要。该项目的核心可交付成果包括一份国别报告汇编、一个数据库和一份涵盖项目编辑委员会认为的最佳和最差做法的最终报告。所有可交付成果将是开放获取的，数据将保持开源。项目门户网站和更多细节可在www.lexatlas-c19.org获得。”

Original application: 'The project's core deliverables are a Compendium, a Database and a Final Report by fourteen internationally distinguished scholars on the legal responses to Covid-19 in 80 countries across all regions of the world. The Compendium comprises 80 national reports written by local legal experts on the relevant country's response to Covid-19, covering: (1) the constitutional/legal framework; (2) the functioning of institutions (e.g. legislatures, courts); (3) the core public health measures adopted; (4) the social and economic measures adopted; and (5) key legal measures in respect of civil liberties and vulnerable groups. The Database collates determinate and quantifiable data on these themes, allowing users to conduct comprehensive cross-national comparisons and correlations with other known socio-economic, political and health data.The Final Report will comprise: 1. an analytical overview of the data, identifying response trends and correlations to major socio-economic and health indicators; and 2. an in-depth critical analysis of various thematic areas (e.g. privacy, civil liberties, migration), proposing best and worst practices in relation to different themes as well as overall state performance. The deliverables provide critical comparative data for the assessment of the UK's response to Covid-19 as well as for future pandemic preparedness, in general and with particular reference to several topics and questions identified as critical by UKRI: economic, gender and race inequalities; security and justice; national recovery and transformation; contact tracing; and national security and foreign policy. The project's dissemination plans include a clear and viable impact pathway into decision-making in the UK Parliament as well as in Whitehall.' From the www.lexatlas-c19.org website, more media friendly:"The Lex-Atlas: Covid-19 (LAC19) project was launched in the fall 2020 and will provide a scholarly analysis of national legal responses to Covid-19 around the world. Updated across 2021, it will be published open-access by Oxford University Press. It is the product of a vast collaboration of legal experts from across the world, led by University College London, King's College London, the Max Planck Institute of Comparative Public Law and generously supported by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council.The project is motivated by the need for a comprehensive overview of national legal responses to Covid-19. The pandemic has many facets, and national responses have varied considerably. Quite apart from epidemiological performance, countries have employed emergency powers differently, have had different kinds of institutional disruption, diverged in public health measures, and have had variable social policy coverage and responses to the human rights needs of vulnerable groups. A scholarly overview of these legal responses is required both to assess past political choices and to prepare for future pandemics. Cataloguing them in detail will also be an important contribution to the history of the pandemic. However, the complexity and fluid nature of the subject-matter essentially requires an unconventional scholarly approach. To make the international comparisons valuable, it requires a high degree of coordination between distinguished national legal experts, a large editorial team applying a consistent methodology, and the capacity to change national portraits as the law and policy shifts in line with the evolution of the pandemic.The project seeks to meet this need through a world-wide collaboration between legal scholars. The project's core deliverables include a Compendium of Country Reports, a Database, and a Final Report covering best and worst practices in the views of the project's Editorial Committee. All deliverables will be open-access and data will be held open-source. The project portal and further details are available at www.lexatlas-c19.org."
