Dahdaleh Institute members Raphael Aguiar, Roger Keil, and Mary Wiktorowicz published a ground-breaking paper offering a new perspective on AMR governance, leveraging Urban Political Ecology (UPE) as a transformative urban lens to identify under-exposed urban dimensions of AMR and its interconnected threats. In this article, the authors highlight how UPE illuminates the socio-ecological processes driving AMR, framing it within urbanization approaches and unveiling its connections to environmental threats and underlying structural dimensions.
Key Insights:
- Explores how urbanization shapes social, political, and environmental co-determinants of AMR and other Global Health threats;
- Highlights synergies between UPE scholarship and One Health approaches, revealing under-exposed links between AMR and environmental threats;
- Uncovers shared governance pathways for AMR and environmental issues, paving the way for more equitable and sustainable solutions to One Health threats.
Implications:
In mobilizing the urban dimension of Global Health in innovative and productive ways; the paper offers practical insights for policymakers and practitioners. Integrating UPE into AMR governance would foster collaborative, equitable, and effective strategies to tackle global health threats in a systemic manner.
