CONSTITUTIONALISM, TRADE, SOCIAL JUSTICE,
& SUSTAINABILITY IN THE AMERICAS:
Lessons from the 2020 Global Pandemic
The COVID-19 Pandemic and Its Impact on Social Justice

The COVID-19 Pandemic reinvigorated the politics around social justice, as several studies and surveys prove that minorities, migrants, and vulnerable groups all over the world are disproportionately affected by the spread of the virus. These data demonstrate the persistence of structural inequalities based on race, income, and gender. Those countries that have robust welfare states have developed costly programs to provide decent living conditions for the poor, and specific programs for low-income families. This discussion will tackle these issues from a comparative perspective, contrasting solutions and problems in different countries with a focus on programs in Latin America and Europe. The aim is to learn from adopted measures and their (short-medium term) outcomes, for better addressing future crises.
