Abstract

COVID-19 and the subsequent global response have had a profound impact on the public health, economic health, and political health in nearly every country. This article examines the biopolitics of power and pandemics in war. Three case studies are presented: the Spanish influenza outbreak of 1918–1920 and responses to the COVID-19 outbreak in both Syria and in eastern Ukraine. The pandemic’s impact has been particularly acute in active warzones, undermining the ability of governments and organizations to enforce public health recommendations, provide for the care of patients, secure supplies, and transmit information.

《生命政治:权力、流行病和战争

新冠肺炎及其后的全球应对措施对几乎每个国家的公共卫生、经济卫生和政治卫生都产生了深远影响。这篇文章探讨了战争中权力和流行病的生物政治。介绍了三个案例研究：1918年至1920年西班牙流感疫情以及对叙利亚和乌克兰东部新冠肺炎疫情的应对。新冠疫情的影响在活跃的战区尤为严重，削弱了政府和组织执行公共卫生建议、提供患者护理、保障物资供应和传递信息的能力。

期刊介绍： Orbis, the Foreign Policy Research Institute quarterly journal of world affairs, was founded in 1957 as a forum for policymakers, scholars, and the informed public who sought an engaging, thought-provoking debate beyond the predictable, conventional journals of that time. Nearly half a century later, Orbis continues to offer informative, insightful, and lively discourse on the full range of topics relating to American foreign policy and national security, as well as in-depth analysis on important international developments. Orbis readers always know the stories behind the headlines.
