Security and Health Diplomacy: A Necessary Partnership?

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
