Abstract
The Ebola pandemic is a crisis of global proportion and of global concern. It is locally concentrated and requires responses on a local scale with a global scope. Its projected trajectory is the subject of volatile predictions, confused communication, imperiled responses and, increasingly, panic. It is at once a health crisis, with severe economic repercussions, and a threat to peace and security, especially in the region and even beyond.
Keywords: Ebola, global health governance, International cooperation, development cooperation, WHO, West Africa, peace, security
