SUMMARY:Democracy in Crisis? Science and Political Decision-making during t
 he Covid-19 Pandemic
DESCRIPTION:While the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic continues to reverber
 ate through societies around the globe, the public focus has shifted to oth
 er pressing issues. This panel discussion jointly organized by the GHI Wash
 ington and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina provides an o
 pportunity to explore emerging narratives and historical assessments of a h
 ealth crisis unprecedented in scope and global impact. Given the continued 
 globalization of expertise before the pandemic, how did medical and public 
 health professionals and politicians navigate cross-border assessments, on 
 the one hand, and local political circumstances and pressures, on the other
 ? How does the role of expertise and of political responses to (and the use
  of) that expertise fit into the larger story of science-based policy advic
 e? How does the Covid-19 pandemic relate to other crises of the early twent
 y-first century, such as economic crises or of challenges to liberal democr
 acies? The panel will bring together practitioners and historians to provid
 e insights from different fields of investigation and from different world 
 regions.\n\nThe panel will bring together practitioners and historians to p
