Hong Kong are organising a workshop on the topic of
Unhealthy Governance: Securitising Infectious Diseases in Asia, to be held in May 2009. 
It is the aim of this workshop to undertake a systemic review of threat-based responses to infectious diseases in Asia – both in terms of specific disease outbreaks as well as in terms of comparative responses between different disease outbreaks. These responses will be focused at the international, regional, state and sub-state levels. By analysing these responses through the combined lens of securitisation and governance it will be possible to understand the priority different actors accord the threats posed by infectious diseases as well as the interplay of different actors during the securitisation process.
