The Law and Development Institute (www.lawanddevelopment.net) and the Centre for Asian Legal Studies, National University of Singapore (NUS) co-host the 2023 Law and Development Conference.

COVID-19, the unprecedented pandemic since the end of World War II, has caused a worldwide economic crisis. All countries have been affected by this pandemic, but developing countries with vulnerable economies have been hit particularly hard, calling for legal and institutional remedies for economic recovery.

• Legal Remedies for the Pandemic-Caused Economic Disruptions
• The Pandemic, Racial Discrimination, and the Law
• The Pandemic and Least-Developed Countries: Legal and Institutional Approaches
