病毒無祖國－新流感與跨域治理

H1N1新流感在短短未及兩個月之內就跨越全球六大洲，傳染到90多個國家，世界衛生組織也宣佈這個新流感已造成全球大流行。全球化快速發展下，病毒無祖國、無國界的傳播，顛覆了人類社會行之已久的主權國家概念及建構，使得國內／國際、領土／非領土、境內／境外的分野逐漸模糊，爲了有效防治新興傳染病，主權國家被迫必須跨域治理。公共衛生跨域治理的議題豐富而複雜，需要臺灣學術界的研究關懷及投入，本文拋磚引玉，以四大基本問題－誰來治理？爲了誰的利益？用什麼手段？追求什麼目標？－做了初步探討。

Novel H1N1 flu has spread throughout more than 90 countries on six continents within a short period of less than two months. The World Health Organization thus has declared that this new flu virus has caused a pandemic. The fast spreading of viruses without motherland or borders under accelerated globalization has subverted the concept and construction of the nation-state, which has been practiced in society for a long time. This spreading of the virus blurs the divide between national/international, territory/non-territory, and within borders/without borders. In order to effectively control emerging infectious diseases, the nation-state is forced to engage in trans-regional governance. The issue of trans-regional governance in public health is multi-dimensional and complex. It needs the attention, research and engagement of Taiwan academics. In this article, we conduct a preliminary analysis based on four major questions: Who governs? for whose interests? by what means? and what is the goal?
