Dear Colleagues,
Given today’s deep political, economic, social and cultural interdependencies among countries, booming air travel and unprecedented global environmental challenges, infectious diseases and epidemics have become a major foreign policy and security issue, be it SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome), H5N1 (bird flu), H1N1 (swine flu), Ebola, Zika and others. Infectious disease outbreaks can lead to political instability, economic crises and social upheaval. This virtual special issue invites scholars from different disciplines (sociology, political science, economics, history, medicine, etc.) to reflect on the manifold security challenges associated with the global spread of infectious diseases, the effect of global governance responses as well as biomedical innovations.

Virtual Special Issue (VSI) is a collection of papers centered around a specific topic, led by an expert (Guest Editor) in the field. Virtual Special Issues are an important component of our journal and cover current hot topics within the scope of the journal.
All papers belonging to a Virtual Special Issue will be gathered together on a single webpage. They are published in the regular issues of the journal as soon as publishable, and labeled as belonging to the Virtual Special Issue. A link from each paper will take you to the Virtual Special Issue website.
Submissions to Virtual Special Issues will undergo the same rigorous peer-review process as regular papers submitted to the journal.
