Focal Issue

Climate change has been a focal issue for centuries, but even more so in the last decade, with much focus in recent months on the Venetian natural hazards and the Australian bushfires; visible events that were close to home; in the West. However, fast forward a few months, we now find ourselves in an unimaginable and unprecedented situation; the COVID-19 pandemic, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) as well as an economic crisis, and climate change could not be more relevant.

State Obligations

The recent outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (evd) in the West African sub-region sprung challenges on the healthcare providers in the observance of their ethical rules in dealing with their patients and the State in fulfilling its obligations to ensure that the rights of patients are respected in times of public health emergency. The ethical rules of medical practice demand that the healthcare providers prefer the interests of their patients to the preservation of self. The State is by law under obligation to protect and respect the rights of the patients in all situations. The paper argues that the responses by the healthcare providers and the States in the West African sub region in the wake of the public health emergency fell short of the demands of the ethical rules of the medical profession and the obligation to ensure that the rights of the patients are respected.

The COVID-19 pandemic is not exclusively a public health crisis. It has spiralled into a complex global socio-economic crisis of a kind not seen since the Second World War. Unlike the 2008 global financial and economic crisis, the current economic crisis is interlocked with a public health emergency at a time of weak global collaboration and has exposed the vulnerability of the economic system. It has also revealed wide differences in government policy responses, highlighting various industrial policy and developmental roles of governments. This paper maps and analyses the variation in governments’ responses to the public health emergency and in their economic rescue packages. This review suggests that governments with rich experience of industrial policymaking have demonstrated the ability to translate industrial capability into an appropriate public health emergency response. At a time when interest in industrial policy has been increasing, a key insight that may be drawn from this paper is the adaptability of industrial policy, which continues to be vital for economic catch-up and learning.
