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…
Global vaccine equity demands reparative justice — not charity
By late April, more than 80% of the world's COVID-19 vaccines had gone to people in wealthy countries, with just 0.3% to people in low-income countries.1 This reprehensible imbalance is no accident. High-income countries have used neocolonial negotiating power, global policy leverage and capital to procure enough doses to cover 245% of their citizens while leaving few doses for poorer countries.2 As a result, lower-income countries may not be abl…

The uncounted
Data is seductive in global health politics. It seduces donors with the promise of cost-effectiveness in making the right investments in people's health and of ensuring they get results and performance from the state projects they fund. It seduces advocates of gender equality with its power to make gender differences in health outcomes and burdens visible. The seduction of data is that of the quick or technocratic fix to complex social and politi…
Threat not solution
COVID-19 has led to long overdue visibility of the gendered determinants and impacts of health emergencies and global health security. This article explores why gender was neglected in previous health emergencies, what led to change in visibility of gender issues during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the implications of such change for understanding the relationship between gender and global health security. The article explor…
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.

Securing Reproductive Health
Failure to access reproductive health care is a threat to the security of women around the world. This article offers three propositions to recognize reproductive health as a matter of international peace and security. The first is to recognize current processes of advancement and backlash politics as a silent security dilemma that undermines rights, justice, and public health based approaches to reproductive health. The second is to draw on the …
Polio
It is curious that despite its relationship to health security, politics and philanthropic financing, polio is relatively neglected in global health politics and International Relations. As Thomas Abraham's new book shows, this is a major oversight and there is a political story to tell. Here is a health issue that a multitude of public–private actors, philanthropists and epistemic communities have been trying to resolve for decades and the way t…
Making the invisible visible in International Relations
How to make the invisible visible in a way that recognises the agency of the invisible is a question pertinent to feminist and decolonial method in International Relations. This article proposes a new method of research to explore this question: the co-production of a narrative feature film between an academic researcher, a film crew and a group of women from rural coastal Tanzania living below the international poverty line of US$2 a day. This p…
Rebels in a rotten state
To write about violence and atrocity in a way that does not sensationalize or dehumanize is incredibly difficult. Kieran Mitton manages to find the right words in his excellent Rebels in a rotten state and in so doing provides an in-depth and thoughtful analysis of what makes people engage in brutal acts of violence. Combining extensive empirical research in Sierra Leone with debates on violence in psychology, conflict analysis and security studi…
Ebola, gender and conspicuously invisible women in global health governance
The international response to Ebola brings into stark contention the conspicuous invisibility of women and gender in global health governance. Developing feminist research on gender blindness, care and male bias, this article uses Ebola as a case to explore how global health rests on the conspicuous free labour of women in formal and informal care roles, yet renders women invisible in policy and practice. The article does so by demonstrating the …

Film as research method in African politics and international relations
This research note reflects on the use of film as a method in researching politics and international relations in African countries. It is based on the experiences of producing a feature length drama about the everyday risk of HIV/AIDS using real people and their stories in Tanzania. The intent of the film, Pili, is to challenge international aesthetics of HIV/AIDS in film and how people understand the complexities and structural politics of dise…

International development in transition
International development is in a period of transition. While the outcome of this is still unclear, this article argues that there are at least four areas in which the project of international development is changing. First, there is a debate, especially within the World Bank, about development strategy and how we think about development, particularly in terms of the balance between states and markets. This is evident in the debate over state fai…
African Agency in International Politics
Beyond trip s
The current round of World Trade Organization (wto) negotiations—the Doha Round—has significant implications for global health which have received insufficient attention from the global health community. All too often the health implications of global trade agreements are examined only after their conclusion, and are concerned only with intellectual property rights. This paper seeks to move beyond this narrow focus and elucidate the wider health …
In from the margins? The changing place of Africa in International Relations
This article surveys recent literature on Africa and International Relations (IR) and reviews the current place of Africa within the discipline. It notes that critical debates continue around claims of a mismatch between Africa and ‘mainstream’ IR theories and concepts. However, alongside this set of issues, there is in fact a burgeoning literature on many aspects of Africa's international relations. While some of these studies utilize existing I…

Governing Health Risk by Buying Behaviour
This article considers the role of conditional cash transfers as a mechanism of governing health risk by buying behaviour change in sexual practice. Conditional cash transfers have come to be identified as a potential solution to the problem of HIV prevention, and as such look likely to be applied throughout countries with high prevalence rates in sub-Saharan Africa. The article considers the implications of two pilot studies in Tanzania and Mala…

The World Bank
he Multi-Country AIDS Program (MAP) is a World Bank commitment of $ 1 billion to fight HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. The main aim of the I MAP, launched in 2000, was to bring about a major scaling up of the mul tisectoral response to HIV/AIDS. Multisectorality referred to the involvement of community-based organizations (CBOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), line ministries, and, principally, the highest level of state government in shap…
