Abstract
CHUECA, Eva Garcia. Social unrest and (urban) inequalities in the Atlantic region in the COVID-19 era. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2022, n.esp2022, pp.92-117. Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 1645-9199. https://doi.org/10.23906/ri2022.sia06.
The global health crisis caused in 2020 by the covid-19 pandemic has given rise to new protests in the social sphere and intensified those that marked earlier years. This study aims to contribute empirical material that could help understanding of this social unrest and its link with (especially urban) inequalities in the Atlantic region. In particular, it sets out to answer two questions: i) to what extent is inequality related with increasing social protests in situations of health crisis, and ii) what form do these phenomena (pandemic, inequalities, and protests) have in cities?
Keywords : inequalities; protests; cities; COVID-19.
