Temporalities of future governance
In this article, we characterize two modalities of future governance by analyzing how scenarios are used in the energy sector. We argue that these modalities are underpinned by different temporalities: a linear temporality, where the present is a consequence both of the past and of present decisions that shape the future (in the modern modality), and a non-linear temporality, where the coexisting present and future emerge simultaneously (in the c…
Simulation exercises, scenarios, and preparedness in global health governance after Covid-19
This article focuses on preparedness for the future in global health governance and explores a possible trajectory of development in this regard. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research on simulations and scenarios in global health, it specifically examines the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) longstanding work with simulation exercises and relatively recent engagement with scenarios during the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on a detailed analysis …
Canary in the Coal Mine
Exploring the relationship between governmental infectious disease management and emergency systems, I examine the turn to emergency in European measles management during the resurgence of the disease between 2017 and 2020. While measles management was shaped by hope for disease eradication and as a progressive pursuit of elimination, amid growing concerns with vaccination coverage, hope was redirected toward reversing regression in the struggle …
The contemporary (re-)configuration of global health governance
The COVID-19 pandemic has raised probing questions about the politics that underly health governance. This article engages with recent sociological and political analyses in this regard and offers a reconsideration of what the pandemic represents for global health governance: a moment of reconfiguration rather than continuity or fundamental change. Drawing on Paul Rabinow's notion of 'the contemporary' as a mode of analysis, we conceptualise glob…
The global (health) governance of antimicrobial resistance
This article advances the study of the global governance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in International Relations. It shows how the global (health) governance of AMR emerged, highlights the inherent tension in this governance between two entangled ideas, and discusses fragmentation as a central, built-in characteristic of this governance. Further, the article analyzes two processes that have shaped perceptions and actions within this governan…
The Rise of Global Health Emergency Governance
In this paper I shed new light on contemporary developments in global health governance, policymaking, and knowledge production. Specifically, by investigating the historical roots and emergence of global health emergency governance. Drawing on the Foucauldian notion of “problematisation” and on Science and Technology Studies of disaster, I trace, examine, and elucidate three main axes through which, I argue, health emergencies became a problem o…
Encapsulation
The coronavirus pandemic has revived scholarly engagement with the concept of biopolitics, with interpretations diagnosing either the widespread adoption of a classic biopolitical regime or the full-blown emergence of totalitarian repression (or both of these simultaneously). Relying on a close analysis of different interventions taken by Israeli authorities in response to the pandemic, this article argues that, rather than classic biopolitical s…
Governing uncertainty, producing subjectivity
An emergency of circulation
The rise of emergency governance in global public health has driven a number of changes in this field. In this article, we investigate one of the practices of emergency governance – border screening – and identify a new form of screening that emerged in the UK during the 2014 Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Analysing the UK’s deployment of Ebola entry screening and the public debate that emerged around it, we show how this technology was construct…
Emergency, preparedness, and UK global health policy following the 2014 West African Ebola epidemic
In this article, we analyze UK global health policy in the light of the 2014 Ebola epidemic. Specifically, we focus on the UK government’s intervention in the epidemic, reflections on the UK’s response in parliamentary committees and government-sponsored forums, and subsequent UK global health policy changes. Post-Ebola, we argue, UK global health policy turned into a pursuit of global health emergency-preparedness through development. This, we f…
