Geopolítica e Saúde Global

Palavras-chave: Geopolítica, Relações internacionais, Conflitos armados, Saúde global, Surtos de doenças infeciosas

Resumo

Os conflitos armados e os surtos de doenças infeciosas coexistem no século XXI em várias regiões do globo. A geopolítica enfatiza o poder e a geografia dos Estados, mas a capacidade de fazer a guerra é contrariada pela Carta das Nações Unidas. Os conflitos armados conduzem a movimentos de refugiados e deslocados internos que potenciam as doenças infeciosas e a resistência antimicrobiana. Procurou-se estabelecer uma correlação entre conflitos armados e surtos de doenças infeciosas e assim compreender melhor a relação entre geopolítica e saúde global. A emergência destas doenças com impacto transnacional é influenciada pela guerra, que amplifica os efeitos e por fatores demográficos, climáticos e económicos. Concluiu-se que em determinadas circunstâncias e contextos, os conflitos potenciam o surgimento de surtos de doenças infeciosas estabelecendo uma relação causal entre eles. A reorganização dos sistemas de saúde mundiais deve contar com o contributo da geopolítica e das Relações Internacionais.
