Unreachable, Inescapable
This article examines how sustainable development functions as a mechanism of stabilising asymmetry in North–South trade governance, using the European Union (EU)–Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) agreement as a case study. Whilst sustainability is often framed as a normative good or institutional advance, the article shows instead how it operates within EU trade policy as a form of normative camouflage : embedding ethical language into governanc…
Don’t come with your lessons in morality’
International trade governance is often framed as neutral and technocratic, emphasizing fairness, modernization, and mutual benefit. Yet, vast inequalities between the Global North and South persist, not as mere byproducts of developmental progress but the endurance of an imperial order historically structured by domination, extraction, and racialized hierarchies. Scholarship has illuminated the material and institutional mechanisms underpinning …
An opportunity for gender transformation? UN Women’s policy response to Covid-19
Pandemics disproportionately affect women due to their dominant roles in healthcare, caregiving, and industries vulnerable to public health policies. Women face higher infection risks, greater unpaid care burdens, and job losses during crises. Violence against women and disrupted access to healthcare, including sexual and reproductive services, also increase. Despite clear evidence of these effects, global pandemic responses have historically bee…
Partial recognition without redistribution
The COVID-19 pandemic elevated care work as it was applauded on doorsteps and deemed ‘essential’ by governments. Yet this rhetorical visibility stood in stark contrast to its persistent structural invisibility. In the UK, women disproportionately shouldered the burden of social reproduction as healthcare workers, childcare providers, and unpaid carers, all while facing heightened job insecurity, domestic violence, and mental health strain. These …
SDG5 “Gender Equality” and the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted healthcare and societies, exacerbating existing inequalities for women and girls across every sphere. Our study explores health system responses to gender equality goals during the COVID-19 pandemic and inclusion in future policies. Methods: We apply a qualitative comparative approach, drawing on secondary sources and expert information; the data was collected from March-July 2022. Australia, Brazil, …

From Imperialism to the “Golden Age” to the Great Lockdown
This article reviews the state of the literature on the politics of global health governance and associated political dynamics of actors involved in this issue space. We identify seven eras in the field, beginning with the period of empire and colonialism and ending with the COVID-19 outbreak. The field of global health has long had a focus on infectious disease, often rooted within a state-centered approach to transnational global health problem…
Using gender analysis matrixes to integrate a gender lens into infectious diseases outbreaks research
Evidence shows that infectious disease outbreaks are not gender-neutral, meaning that women, men and gender minorities are differentially affected. This evidence affirms the need to better incorporate a gender lens into infectious disease outbreaks. Despite this evidence, there has been a historic neglect of gender-based analysis in health, including during health crises. Recognizing the lack of available evidence on gender and pandemics in early…
I Was Facilitating Everybody Else’s Life. And Mine Had Just Ground to a Halt”
A growing body of research has highlighted the disproportionately negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women globally. This article contributes to this work by interrogating the lived realities of sixty-four women in the United Kingdom through semi-structured in-depth interviews, undertaken during the first and second periods of lockdown associated with COVID-19 in 2020. Categorizing the data by subgroup of women and then by theme, this ar…
Capital and imperialism
In its near 300-year excursion through the history of the global economy, Capital and imperialism makes two clear arguments: the classical theoretical basis underlying the justification of capitalism as a stable economic system is flawed, and international financial capitalism, as the current and final stage of capitalism, stands at an impasse. Economists Utsa Patnaik and Prabhat Patnaik present a thorough and expansive critical account of the hi…
Reconceptualizing successful pandemic preparedness and response
Pandemic preparedness and COVID-19 response indicators focus on public health outcomes (such as infections, case fatalities, and vaccination rates), health system capacity, and/or the effects of the pandemic on the economy, yet this avoids more political questions regarding how responses were mobilized. Pandemic preparedness country rankings have been called into question due to their inability to predict COVID-19 response and outcomes, and COVID…
More than a public health crisis
Gender norms, roles and relations differentially affect women, men, and non-binary individuals' vulnerability to disease. Outbreak response measures also have immediate and long-term gendered effects. However, gender-based analysis of outbreaks and responses is limited by lack of data and little integration of feminist analysis within global health scholarship. Recognising these barriers, this paper applies a gender matrix methodology, grounded i…
Women are most affected by pandemics — lessons from past outbreaks
The social and economic impacts of COVID-19 fall harder on women than on men. Governments need to gather data and target policy to keep all citizens equally safe, sheltered and secure.
