Published online: 27 June 2022
Forum
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected virtually every aspect of life, for individuals, communities, nations, regions, and the international system.

Navigating the role of the private sector in health emergencies
WHO’s to blame? The World Health Organization and the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa
Since 2001 the World Health Organization (WHO) has been actively promoting its credentials for managing ‘global health security’. However, the organisation’s initial response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa has attracted significant criticism, even prompting calls for its dissolution and the creation of a new global health agency. Drawing on principal–agent theory and insights from previous disease outbreaks, this article examines what …
Fighting Flu
The growing trend toward the securitization of infectious disease has legitimated a role for national militaries in responding to public health crises. This apparent 'militarization' of health has met with resistance from the health and security sectors alike, who argue that it risks politicizing health outcomes while also draining limited military resources. This article attempts to place such concerns within the broader historical context of mi…

METHODOLOGY: This paper is based on the…
Changing Perceptions
According to the latest World Bank estimates, over the past decade some US $4.3 billion has been pledged by governments to combat the threat of pandemic influenza. Presidents, prime ministers, and even dictators the world over have been keen to demonstrate their commitment to tackling this disease, but this has not always been the case. Indeed, government-led intervention in responding to the threat of pandemic influenza is a relatively recent ph…
The 2011 Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework
In early 2007 the Indonesian government announced that it would cease sharing H5N1 influenza virus samples with the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Surveillance Network. At the heart of the government's complaint was the fact that samples were being passed by the WHO to pharmaceutical companies which developed, and patented, influenza vaccines that the Indonesian authorities could not purchase. The decision gained widespread support …
