Focusing on East Asia, this book sets out a framework for analyzing
infectious disease threats in security terms. It covers the
security significance of naturally occurring disease outbreak
events such as SARS and avian influenza, the development and use of
biological weapons by state and non-state actors, and the security
risks associated with laboratory research on pathogenic
micro-organisms.
Christian Enemark devises a conceptual framework for
securitization that is useful for policy makers by using the
overlaps and synergies between different infectious disease
threats. The book draws heavily on material from public health and
scientific literature to illustrate the cross-disciplinary
requirements for addressing infectious diseases challenges in
security terms. Fast-moving, naturally occurring disease threats
are of increasing concern to governments and individuals, and it is
therefore important to recognize their close relationship to the
security challenges posed by Biological Weaponsand pathogen
research.
Disease and Security will be of much interest to students of
international security, public health and Asian politics.
