| Synopsis: |
The past decade has witnessed a significant increase in the construction of health as a security issue by national governments and multilateral organizations. This book provides the first critical, feminist analysis looking at the global flesh-and-blood impact of the securitization of health on different bodies. This collection looks at how feminist perspectives on health and security lead to different questions about health and in/security, problematizing some of the `common sense' assumptions that underlie much of the discourse in this area. It considers the power relations - the norms, ideologies, and vested interests that frame specific `threats' to health and policy responses, exposing the role that hegemonic masculinities play in constructing health and security policies. Divided into two thematic clusters, the first part of this book focuses on conflict, war and complex emergencies, amplifying their orthodox situation within International Relations. The second reviews the themes of structural violence and human security, moving from a `high political' focus to the domain of more subtle and often insidious structural violence.Highlighting the critical intersections across health, gender and security, this book is an important contribution to scholarship on health and security, global health, public health and gender studies. |
