Olivier Rubin is a disaster expert specializing in exploring the political and bureaucratic dynamics of slow-onset disasters such as famines, climate-induced disasters, pandemics, and antimicrobial resistance. With twenty years of experience in disaster and crisis management, Rubin has received several highly competitive multiyear grants and published widely in international outlets pertaining to crisis management, politics & public administration, and public health. Dr Rubin's recent years have been devoted to health crisis research with investigations of the global governance of antimicrobial resistance and the challenges of integrating evidence-based decision making in major health crises responses. Erik Baekkeskov is a political scientist who researches and teaches governance at the intersection of public health and crisis management. His theoretical work has particularly focused on the roles of science and experts, and the related logic of policy-making and public administration. His empirical work has focused on cases of public health threats, including the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 2014 Ebola, 2020 COVID-19, and the growing antimicrobial resistance crisis. His work is published in public policy, public administration, and public health academic journals and volumes. Louise Munkholm is an independent researcher and consultant. She holds a PhD in social science from Roskilde University. Her research focuses on the sociology of law, including the development, application, and enforcement of regulatory responses to transnational phenomena, such as AMR. Her scholarly publications include books with Hart Publishing and Routledge, and articles in journals such the Journal of Law and Society, Globalization and Health, the Journal of Public Health Policy, and Public Administration and Development.
This volume collects together key insights from across social sciences on AMR governance. AMR is now the third-leading underlying cause of death globally, which is why a global approach and global governance is necessary. Through a global perspective, the case studies in this volume highlight both successes and challenges of local, regional, and global governance for AMR. As we work together across the world to tackle the 'silent' AMR pandemic, I strongly recommend this book for all in the global and public health and policy sphere to help galvanise action to address the insidious and complex health emergency of AMR. * Professor Dame Sally Davies, UK Special Envoy on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) * Steering Against Superbugs comprehensively unpacks the root social drivers of antimicrobial resistance and masterfully situates these drivers in their cultural, historical and political contexts. Rubin, Baekkeskov, and Munkholm have brought together some of the world's leading thinkers in this field and have pro¬vided us with some of the best ideas yet to tackle this intensifying global health challenge that already kills more than 1.2 million people each year. * Professor Steven J. Hoffman, Director of the Global Strategy Lab and the WHO Collaborating Centre on Global Governance of Antimicrobial Resistance, York University, Canada * This exciting volume achieves what many have been waiting for: a compen¬dium of social science approaches to antimicrobial resistance. With a focus on governance, the authors demonstrate the strengths of different disciplines by providing evidence at multiple scales of the ways in which antibiotics, and drug resistance, is-and can be-governed. From clinics, to bednets, to global policy spaces, the book introduces the reader to detailed case studies that enlighten and awaken interest in the multiple dimensions that make up the complex challenge of antimicrobial resistance globally. * Professor Clare Chandler, Anthropology of Antimicrobial Resistance lead and founding Director, AMR Centre, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. * Microbes, humans, One Health, and the interplay between them through AMR. This book introduces the reader to the conceptual issues of AMR, and then steers her through governance challenges, One Health aspects, global awareness, advocacy and regulatory matters. This is essential reading, not just for those working in this critical field but also for policy- makers, healthcare leaders, One Health professionals, and the wider community-providing an armament of knowledge, insight, and perspectives in the fight against AMR. * Professor & Head Sujith J Chandy, Department of Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology, Christian Medical College Vellore, India *
