摘要

In global studies, the Covid-19 pandemic has been associated with the return of national protectionism at the expense of a human rights-based approach to health. While this may be partially true, this article will shed light on a different aspect of national security. Context plays a key role here. In the context of Western liberal democracies, a securitized approach to health is seen as detrimental to basic constitutional rights such as right to work and mobility. However, from the perspective of low-income countries, national security implies the urgency of a global solidarity in the name of enhanced human rights such as right to food and shelter. This article develops this argument by comparing national security to other competing policy frameworks such as human security, human rights, and global goods in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
