Security and Health Diplomacy: A Necessary Partnership?

本项目分析援引国际卫生问题作为安全威胁是否会带来更大的外交成功和投资。它试图通过两个步骤来回答这个问题。首先，该项目将批判性地探讨过去十年中提出的若干国际卫生倡议在多大程度上是通过使用安全辞令创建和推进的。其次，它将比较和解释那些使用“安全卡”的倡议与那些没有寻求与国家安全或生物安全问题联系的倡议所投入的资源、政治利益和寿命。

This project analyses whether invoking international health issues as security threats leads to greater diplomatic success and investment. It seeks to answer this question through a two-step process. First, the project will critically explore the extent to which a select number of international health initiatives, introduced over the past decade, have been created and advanced through the use of security rhetoric. Secondly, it will compare and explain the resources, political interest and longevity devoted to those initiatives that use the ‘security card’ with those initiatives that have not sought linkage with national security or biosecurity concerns.
