Rethinking international financing for health to better respond to future pandemics
International financing for health has been high on the political and global health agenda since COVID-19. The recent launch of the Pandemic Fund represents the first consolidated effort of the international community to mobilise additional voluntary financial resources for the purpose of strengthening global efforts in pandemic prevention, preparedness and response (PPR). Against such a dynamic landscape, building on recent critiques and new pol…
Inequality and Democracy
In this response I reflect on the contributions of the recently published report of the International Panel on Social Progress. I focus in particular on the Report’s treatment of the relationship between inequality and democracy: the proper subject of Chapter 14 in Part II of the report but also a central concern throughout the text. I begin by setting the Report's arguments more fully in the historical context of the past few decades, and specif…
From Welfare World to Global Poverty
Gunnar Myrdal was one of the earliest and most vocal advocates of the need for international redistribution, or what he termed “welfare world”. As Myrdal himself pointed out the western welfare state was itself often a barrier to such redistribution internationally. Myrdal eventually came to see the western, and specifically swedish welfare state as a model for more generous flows of international aid, but this on primarily humanitarian grounds. …
Just Global Health
Some 40 years ago, the public health philosopher Dan Beauchamp suggested that 'public health should be a way of doing justice'. The argument put forward in this essay is that global health should be a way of doing global justice, by ameliorating the health inequalities that exclude many millions of people globally from enjoying a healthy life and from the benefits of a fuller inclusion in modern society. The essay develops this argument in three …
Genealogies of liberal violence
This paper presents a genealogical analysis of the relationship between liberal state violence and the contemporary liberal will-to-care by way of an exploration of what is sometimes referred to as 'humanitarian war'. I explore the historical convergence of contemporary human rights norms with military intervention in the post-Cold War context. I suggest that, far from representing a limit upon state violence in the present, human rights in fact …
The “humanitarianization” of urban violence
This paper describes how international humanitarian organizations (IHOs) are adapting their operations to working in the urban environment. When levels of armed violence in urban areas are sufficient to trigger international humanitarian law, organizations such as the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) may argue that they have an important contribution to make by offering a set of skills and experience gleaned in conflict and non-go…

Cuba's Wild East
Humanitarianism as liberal diagnostic
Images of catastrophe and the suffering of others form an important part of the contemporary western imagination. Such images trace the geography of an uneven world at the same time as they assert the moral and political horizons of liberal forms of care towards it. Drawing upon Foucault's notion of political rationality, I revisit the emergence of this distinctively liberal moral geography to show how a modern form of ‘humanitarian reason’ (Fass…
An Incorporating Geopolitics
This paper develops a critique of the emergence of the new European Border Agency, Frontex, specifically its operations along Europe's maritime borders with North Africa. Rather than account for Frontex in terms of securitising and neoliberalising processes, as has become common, I focus instead on the underlying geopolitical rationalities that guide Frontex operations. These reflections then set up the further argument of the paper: that what Fr…
Geography and metaphors
Peter Hulme’s ‘Writing on the land’ offers a critical literary account of the imagination of Cuba’s geography. Hulme’s particular focus is to account for how the geography of the nation – its landscapes, its territory and its people – has been represented and reworked in a variety of forms through metaphors relating to place. At the heart of this is recognition of the fact that, as Louis Pérez Jr puts it, metaphors ‘have consequences’: political …

Scarpaci, Joseph L. and Portela, Armando H. ( 2009 ) Cuban Landscapes: Heritage, Memory, and Place , The Guilford Press ( New York, NY ), 216 pp. $30.00 pbk . This book sets out to consider how different social groupings have found meaning and agency in and through Cuba's landscapes. It seeks to bring the insights of cultural geography and landscape studies to a field of enquiry – Cuban studies – that could be usefully enriched by just such theor…

Vital Geographies
Life has been problematized anew by recent social change and scientific innovation. There are important and little studied geographical dimensions to any such understanding of “the politics of life itself,” however. A geographical perspective involves, first, highlighting the spatial aspects of both states and capital, two rather neglected dimensions of vital politics. Elaborating the geographical constitution of vital politics entails further de…
Scientific Innovation and Non-Western Regional Economies
A good deal of research within the cultural turn in economic geography has sought to understand the relationship between economic activity and regional culture. This work encompasses an increasingly heterodox set of approaches to regional economic activity, from innovation studies to processes of embedding to accounts of regional learning and clustering, and an increasingly broad set of empirical cases through which these issues are regularly dis…
Exceptional Sovereignty? Guantánamo Bay and the Re‐Colonial Present
The US government has presented Guantánamo Bay to the world through the lens of “exceptional sovereignty”. This argument holds that international law does not apply at Guantanamo because while America has “complete authority” over the base “ultimate sovereignty” rests with Cuba. Many accounts rightly critical of the abuses of power taking place at Guantanamo similarly understand it as something wholly abnormal—a literal “non‐place”. But in fallin…

Under the Microscope
Through a re‐reading of my Ph.D. fieldwork on Cuba's biotechnology industry, I empirically pull apart the relationship between fieldwork practice and knowledge production as experienced in my research. I argue that reflexivity is an insufficiently critiqued concept and, as a result, that its widespread influence in contemporary fieldwork practice works to obscure the influence of “others”, not just on the “doing” of research but on the conceptual…
