这篇文章反映了在讨论疾病时越来越多地使用“地缘政治”一词。委员会注意到，虽然地缘政治一词的使用日益频繁，但其确切含义却没有得到持续的注意。它也没有概念化的关系，在广泛的文献批评地缘政治。为了更好地理解地缘政治与疾病的关系，本文详细阐述了地缘政治在最近的文献中被引用的意义，并将它们与关键地缘政治的主题联系起来。它确定了三个相互交叉的主题，与之相关的地缘政治问题已经提出：治理的空间化，生物政治和跨国政治经济。在讨论这些主题时，本文确定了一些问题和进一步研究的途径。总的来说，它认为有相当大的空间可以进一步调查疾病成为地缘政治的方式。总之，这篇文章提出了一系列问题，这些问题可能有助于将疾病地缘政治研究与更广泛地围绕关键地缘政治和地理学进行的辩论联系起来。©2009 The Author Journal Compilation©2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd。
This article reflects on the increasing use of the term geopolitics in discussions of disease. It notes that although the term geopolitics has been used increasingly often, its precise meaning has not received sustained attention. Neither has it been conceptualized in relation to the extensive literature in critical geopolitics. To lay the groundwork for a more considered understanding of geopolitics in relation to disease, the article elaborates upon the senses in which geopolitics has been invoked in recent literature and links them with themes in critical geopolitics. It identifies three intersecting themes, in connection with which issues of geopolitics have been raised: the spatialization of governance, biopolitics and transnational political economies. In discussing these themes, the article identifies a number of questions and avenues for further research. Overall, it argues that there is considerable scope to investigate further the ways in which disease becomes geopolitical. In conclusion, the article raises a series of questions that may serve to connect research on the geopolitics of disease with debates taking place in and around critical geopolitics and geography more generally. © 2009 The Author Journal Compilation © 2009 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.
