The past decade has witnessed a significant increase in the
construction of health as a security issue by national governments
and multilateral organizations. This book provides the first
critical, feminist analysis of the flesh-and-blood impacts of the
securitization of health on different bodies, while broadening the
scope of what we understand as global health security. It looks at
how feminist perspectives on health and security can lead to
different questions about health and in/security, problematizing
some of the 'common sense' assumptions that underlie much of the
discourse in this area. It considers the norms, ideologies, and
vested interests that frame specific 'threats' to health and policy
responses, while exposing how the current governance of the global
economy shapes new threats to health. Some chapters focus on
conflict, war and complex emergencies, while others move from a
'high political' focus to the domain of subtler and often insidious
structural violence, illuminating the impacts of hegemonic
masculinities and the neoliberal governance of the global economy
on health and life chances. Highlighting the critical intersections
across health, gender and security, this book is an important
contribution to scholarship on health and security, global health,
public health and gender studies.
