This new Handbook presents an overview of cutting-edge research in
the growing field of global health security. Over the past decade,
the study of global health and its interconnection with security
has become a prominent and rapidly growing field of research.
Ongoing debates question whether health and security should be
linked; which (if any) health issues should be treated as security
threats; what should be done to address health security threats;
and the positive and negative consequences of 'securitizing'
health. In academic and policy terms, the health security field is
a timely and dynamic one and this handbook will be the first work
comprehensively to address this agenda. Bringing together the
leading experts and commentators on health security issues from
across the world, the volume comprises original and cutting-edge
essays addressing the key issues in the field and also highlighting
currently neglected avenues for future research. The book intends
to provide an accessible yet sophisticated introduction to the key
topics and debates and is organised into four key parts: Health
Securities: the fundamental conceptual issues, historical links
between health and security and the various ways of conceptualising
health as a security issue Threats: those health issues which have
been most frequently discussed in security terms Responses: the
wide range of contemporary security-driven responses to health
threats Controversies: the securitization of health, its impact on
rights and justice and the potential distortion of the global
health agenda This book will be of great interest to students of
global health security, public health, critical security studies,
and International Relations in general.
