Abstract:
Global health emergencies – like COVID-19 – pose major threats in the 21st century. Now societies can be better protected against such harrowing outbreaks by analyzingЕру the detailed genetic sequence data of new pathogens. This article initiates the social scientific study of bioinformational diplomacy, that is, practices and enabling instruments surrounding the timely international exchange of bioinformation about global health emergencies. It investigates the deeper political, economic and scientific problematisations that are engendering this burgeoning field. It finally analyses the emergent international instruments developed by governments, scientists, and industry to facilitate more rapid global sharing of bioinformation through novel practices of data passporting. Overall, the in-depth study of bioinformational diplomacy reveals just how deeply international relations are entangled with the life sciences – by carefully tracing how laboratory practices of sequencing life at molecular scale also end up recontouring the play of sovereignty, power and security in international relations.
