COVID-19 and the European Union
Dr Eleanor Brooks is working with colleagues Assoc Prof Scott Greer (Michigan), Asst Prof Anniek de Ruijter (Amsterdam), Prof Robert Geyer (Lancaster) and Sarah Rozenblum (Michigan) on a handful of projects examining the European Union's response to COVID-19 and the impact of the pandemic on the EU's health agenda. These explore the EU's capacity to respond and the limits of its role, similarities between COVID-19 and previous crises that the EU has faced, and the potential for a longer term shift in the substance of the EU's health agenda. This work links with other GHPU projects on EU health governance - find more here.
