协调全球范围内的疾病管理做法和将责任下放给更广泛的行为者，是有序进行生物安全治理的两种日益重要的方法。虽然对这些排序形式进行了单独审查，但社会科学生物安全文献对它们如何相互作用和相互干扰以及实施生物安全的后果提供了有限的见解。本文采用制度逻辑的方法来考察政府机构、行业机构和农业企业参与生物安全的不同和相互竞争的逻辑。它特别侧重于这些逻辑如何对生物安全的协调提出挑战，以及为确保生命安全创造替代谈判空间的方式。通过对政策文件的分析和对政府、行业利益相关者以及牛肉生产者的半结构化访谈，我们确定了三种制度逻辑，即新自由主义逻辑、生产主义逻辑和农业逻辑。我们认为，在将责任下放给工业、农业机构和生产者的环境中，多重逻辑的存在对实现生物安全改进协调的努力构成了重大挑战。在这方面，利益攸关方更多地强调生产主义逻辑，最有可能改进生物安全执行工作，因为它与现有的农业流通和流动以及生产者的畜群健康做法相配合。
Harmonisation of disease management practices across global space and the devolution of responsibility to a broader range of actors are two increasingly important approaches for ordering biosecurity governance. While these forms of ordering have been examined individually, the social science biosecurity literature provides limited insights into how they interact and interfere with one another, and the consequences for biosecurity implementation. This paper draws upon an institutional logics approach to examine the different and competing logics through which government agencies, industry bodies and farming enterprises engage in biosecurity. It focuses specifically on the ways in which these logics pose challenges for harmonisation of biosecurity as well as create alternative spaces of negotiation for making life safe. Through the analysis of policy documents and semi-structured interviews with government and industry stakeholders, as well as with beef producers, we identify three institutional logics being the neoliberal, productivist and agrarian logics. We argue that the existence of multiple logics poses significant challenges for efforts to achieve improved harmonisation of biosecurity in an environment of devolved responsibility to industry, farming bodies and producers. In this context, greater emphasis by stakeholders on the productivist logic holds the most potential for improving biosecurity implementation in that it works with existing agricultural circulations and flows, and with producers' herd health practices.
