Global Health Security

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.
