Never again Legal change after public health crises in China

This thesis examines legal change after public health crises in China. The research aim is threefold. First of all, it aims to contribute to our understanding of how crises can lead to legal change in China. Secondly, the thesis aims to contribute to our understanding of post-crisis lawmaking. Thirdly, the thesis aims to develop tools for measuring and assessing the nature of legal change and of post-crisis legal change in particular. These three aims have been captured in one overarching research question: To what extent and under which conditions do public health crises lead to legal change in China?
