The Covid-19 pandemic is giving way to increases in military engagements in health-related activities at the domestic level.
Fawzia will discuss her article, which situates these engagements amid issues of continuity, change and resistance in contemporary redefinitions of military health roles.
The article positions the COVID-19 pandemic as a pivotal moment in global health military practice.
Fawzia identifies three emerging trends within national military responses to Covid-19:
- Minimal technical military support.
- Blended civil-military responses.
- Military-led responses.
The dynamics which underpin each type of military involvement follow context-specific military political legacies
These levels of involvement also relate to national public health approaches and the degree of capacity within health care systems. Each identified trend points towards specific trajectories for the future co-constitution of global and local civil-military engagements.
Please note this event will be recorded.
