Abstract

Taiwan, internationally acclaimed for its early success in COVID-19 control, credits its robust system of medical epidemiologists as pivotal. This article examines how these physicians were caught between the professionalism of global health initiatives and the challenges of local governance in a structurally unequal world. These dynamics shaped their roles as both members of transnational networks upholding professional principles and national scientists representing a state eager for "global citizenship"--a vision championed by UN agencies and international organizations. The conflation and disruption of biological citizenship, nationally and globally, together influenced the identity negotiation of Taiwanese medical epidemiologists.

COVID-19危机中的身份谈判：台湾医学流行病学家的全球-地方困境。

因在新冠肺炎防控方面取得早期成功而受到国际赞誉的台湾，认为其强大的医学流行病学家体系至关重要。本文探讨了这些医生如何在全球卫生倡议的专业性和在结构不平等的世界中地方治理的挑战之间陷入困境。这些动态塑造了他们作为维护专业原则的跨国网络成员和代表渴望“全球公民”的国家的国家科学家的角色——这是联合国机构和国际组织所倡导的愿景。生物公民权在国内与全球的合并与瓦解，共同影响台湾医学流行病学家的身份谈判。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
