handle is hein.journals/emint36 and id is 9 raw text is: VIRAL SOVEREIGNTY, VACCINE DIPLOMACY, AND VACCINE NATIONALISM: THE INSTITUTIONS OF GLOBAL VACCINE ACCESS Sam F. Halabi* Ana Santos Rutschman** ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a global vaccine race. Distributive questions about which countries will receive scarce doses and under which conditions pervade international law and diplomacy. This Article is the first to describe the phenomena that have driven the development of international vaccine-sharing mechanisms, identify the international organizational forces that explain the phenomena, and explain how international organizations may facilitate international cooperation before, during, and after global crises. This Article explores the longstanding dissociation between global public health imperatives and nationalist responses to pandemics within the frameworks of vaccine nationalism, viral sovereignty, and vaccine diplomacy. The Article then considers two international agreements indicative of an interest in international collaborations, division of gains from trade, and sustained governance structures the 2011 Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework, and the 2020 CO VAX Vaccines Pillar of the ACTAccelerator.
