Thesis title: 'Preventing vaccine nationalism during pandemics: contributions and determinations of collective security framing'

Dewi's doctoral research explores vaccine nationalism as a barrier to equity, and how pandemic preparedness might be re-imagined through the lenses of collective security and international law, by drawing from the analysis of the negotiations to a historical collective security, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Notably, her research conducts qualitative content analysis in application of issue framing theory on archived verbatim records of meetings for the NPT negotiations and transcribed sessions of the Pandemic Agreement negotiations.
