Covid-19 and Vaccine Nationalism 1st Edition

Boldly examining one of the defining dilemmas of the pandemic era, Covid-19 and Vaccine Nationalism (1st Edition) by Eric E. Otenyo offers a timely, deeply researched exploration of how countries prioritized citizens, geopolitics, and supply chains during the global scramble for vaccines.

Drawing readers into a compelling narrative, this book dissects the rise of vaccine nationalism and its consequences for global health equity. Through clear analysis of policy decisions, international cooperation failures, and supply-chain dynamics, Otenyo maps how national responses shaped pandemic outcomes across regions — from the global South and Africa to Asia, Europe, and the Americas. The writing is accessible yet authoritative, making complex public-health and political science concepts usable for scholars, policymakers, students, and engaged readers alike.

What sets this 1st Edition apart is its practical focus: it not only explains the causes and impacts of vaccine hoarding and export controls but also outlines policy pathways toward more resilient, equitable vaccine distribution. Readers will gain actionable insights on strengthening health diplomacy, improving global manufacturing capacity, and designing fairer allocation frameworks for future crises.

Perfect for academic libraries, public policy courses, and anyone tracking pandemic-era geopolitics, Covid-19 and Vaccine Nationalism is both a record of a pivotal moment and a guide for building better preparedness. If you’re seeking a rigorous, regionally aware, and policy-forward account of how Covid-19 reshaped global vaccine politics, this book belongs on your shelf.
