Discussions of the politics and practicalities of confronting health security challenges—from infectious disease outbreaks to antimicrobial resistance and the silent epidemic of noncommunicable diseases—hinge on the conceptualization of health security. There is no consensus among analysts about the specific parameters of health security. This inhibits comparative evaluation and critique, and affects the consistency of advice for policymakers. This article aims to contribute to debates about the meaning and scope of health security by applying Baldwin’s (1997) framework for conceptualizing security with a view to propose an alternative framing. Asking Baldwin’s concept‐defining questions of the health security literature highlights how implicit and explicit assumptions currently place health security squarely within a narrow traditionalist analytical framework. Such framing of health security is inaccurate and constraining, as demonstrated by practice and empirical observations. Alternative approaches to security propose that security politics can also be multiactor, cooperative, and ethical, while being conscious of postcolonial and feminist critique in search of sustainable solutions to existential threats to individuals and communities. A broader conceptualization of health security can transform the politics of health security, improving health outcomes beyond acute crises and contribute to broader security studies’ debates.

健康保障的维度——概念分析



关于应对卫生安全挑战(从传染病爆发到抗菌素耐药性和非传染性疾病悄然流行)的政治和实践的讨论取决于卫生安全的概念化。分析人士对于卫生安全的具体参数尚未达成共识。这抑制了比较评估和批评,并影响了政策制定者建议的一致性。本文旨在通过应用鲍德温(Baldwin,1997)的安全概念化框架,为有关卫生安全的含义和范围的辩论做出贡献,并提出一个替代框架。询问鲍德温关于健康安全文献的概念定义问题,突显了隐含和明确的假设目前如何将健康安全直接置于狭隘的传统主义分析框架内。正如实践和经验观察所证明的那样,这种卫生安全框架是不准确且具有局限性的。安全的替代方法表明,安全政治也可以是多角色的、合作的和道德的,同时意识到后殖民和女权主义的批评,以寻求可持续的解决方案来应对个人和社区的生存威胁。更广泛的卫生安全概念可以改变卫生安全的政治,改善严重危机之外的健康结果,并有助于更广泛的安全研究辩论。
