Description
Presentation of Paper: State responses to protest and public disorder in times of crisis: a case study on citizenry rightsThe primary aim of this paper is to explore the nature of the relationship between citizen and state in the midst of a period of crisis. The argument explored in this paper is that times of crisis create opportunities for governments to harness these circumstances to achieve their political agenda. Often this agenda is related to limiting rights in favour of heightened executive power commonly resulting in a dilution of citizen rights. This sometimes has a significant impact on minorities in a way that can create and foster inequality in society. This argument is demonstrated by considering a range of examples involving emergencies and crisis as the impetus for significant constitutional change.
