Women and Global Health Leadership
Women represent the majority of people working to improve health outcomes in communities, non-governmental and multilateral organizations, both as paid and unpaid health and social care workers. So why is it that when it comes to leadership positions, we have a governance system that privileges men and what can we do to redress the imbalance? This ground-breaking collection explores the leadership roles that women hold in global health, teasing out the routes women have taken to leadership, the challenges they have faced, and what has facilitated their journey. It brings to the fore the stories of women on the frontlines of this struggle from around the world, highlighting and complementing ...
WHO benchmarks for strengthening health emergency capacities
The WHO Benchmarks for International Health Regulations (2005) (IHR) Capacities was first published in 2019 and serves as a capacity-building tool and reference document to guide development/updating of country health security plans, including the national action plan for health security (NAPHS). It is now updated to a second edition which incorporates lessons learned from recent health emergencies, as well as alignment with updated IHRMEF tools, the HEPR framework, the WHO Director-General’s ten proposals to build a safer world together, and to build back better through multi-hazard and whole-of-society approaches to support better preparedness for future emergencies. Over 250 relevant te...
From reacting to preventing pandemics
Investing in One Health – cross-sectoral, multidisciplinary coordination and collaboration across the human health, animal health, and environmental health sectors – is crucial for maintaining healthy agricultural and food systems and addressing global health security risks. Such action can reduce the threat of future pandemics through upstream preventive actions, early detection, and agile responses to zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases outbreaks, coupled with measures for promoting food safety, including anti-microbial resistance. This regional review, conducted jointly by the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, assesses the socioeconomic ...

Principles and Practice of Emergency Research Response
Zusammenfassung: Robust global health security requires effective preparation for and response to emerging and re-emerging pathogens. The nascent field of emergency research response and preparedness is a crucial component in preventing and mitigating outbreaks, yet it is rife with critical scientific, ethical, and policy questions. How can local, national, and global systems collaborate across disciplines and political boundaries to protect health security? How can we conduct rigorous research in fragile or failed nation-states? What is needed for equitable distribution of vaccines and therapeutic medicines in short supply? How can we accelerate trials of vaccines and therapeutics during an...
The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States
The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States provides a wide-ranging exploration of U.S. legal feminism, analyzing both prominent brands of feminist legal theory and key feminist social movements. The Handbook's chapters examine the influence that legal feminism has exerted on law, from the creation of feminist claims such as sexual harassment and gender equity in sports to new understandings of consent, motherhood, and reproductive justice. Contributions from leading feminist thinkers dissect the backlash to feminism and compare feminism to adjacent discourses including queer theory and masculinities theory. The Handbook is also forward-looking insofar as it imagines how legal feminism will affect emerging areas like digital privacy, immigration law, and environmental law. Thanks to its expansive scope and highly-regarded team of editors and contributors, The Oxford Handbook of Feminism and Law in the United States will be an essential source for scholars and students working in a range of interconnected fields.
Global IR Research Programme
The Global IR research programme promulgates a borderless ecology of cultures that has only an inside without an outside. This borderless ecology of cultures reinvents the human condition (including the condition of ‘the international’) as perpetually interconnected at the level of consciousness. While Western-centric IR theories depend on (neo-)Kantian philosophies to emphasize the time-space bounded identities of human beings living in visibly divided phenomenal worlds, the de-Kantian philosophies of the Global IR research programme – exemplified by the Tianxia, Advaita, and Nishida Kitaro’s Buddhism-inspired theories – recuperate the temporally-spatially indivisible phenomenal-n...

It provides foundational concepts, theories, and methods through which students can explore the role gender has played in news media.

L'era della non-pace
Pensavamo che connettere il mondo avrebbe portato a una pace duratura. La pace, invece, ci sta allontanando. Nei tre decenni seguiti alla fine della Guerra fredda i leader mondiali hanno lavorato per far nascere un mondo connesso: hanno integrato l’economia, i trasporti e le comunicazioni a livello planetario, abbattendo le frontiere nella speranza di rendere impossibile la guerra. Così facendo, hanno inconsapevolmente creato un formidabile arsenale di armi per nuovi tipi di tensioni e ostilità. È preoccupante osservare oggi un aumento dei conflitti a tutti i livelli, dai singoli individui sui social media fino alla guerra vera e propria in Europa orientale. Nell’ultimo decennio abbia...
