abstract = {According to many traditions of political theory, how states behave in exceptional circumstances reveals much about their underlying nature (Agamben, 2008;Lazar, 2006;Schmitt, 2005). The COVID-19 lockdowns, in that respect, should provide an extraordinarily fruitful opportunity to test presumptions about contemporary governance regimes. For many states, the pandemic was the most abrupt transformation in state-society relations outside of wartime or (counter)-revolutionary contexts. Globally, it ranks as the most severe downturn in capitalism since the Great Depression (Gopinath, 2020); its impact was to increase inequalities both within and between societies (Mahler et al., 2022).},
