The societal consequences of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) are severe. They include declining health outcomes from longer illnesses, prolonged stays in hospital, loss of protection for patients undergoing medical procedures, increased health care expenditure, and increased mortality. They also include declining global food security as AMR damages farm animal health and crop yields. Despite AMR being a transboundary crisis, concerted global initiatives that effectively combat AMR have been few and far between.

Steering Against Superbugs analyses ways to reduce barriers and create opportunities for coordination. The expert contributions in this volume offer specific and original insights about what global governance of AMR means, and ways to help solve AMR issues. They show that effective governance relies crucially on pursuing local level implementation of key policies, and equitable recognition of solutions across multiple sectors within countries, and across the Global North and South.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, societies across the world have been reminded of the devastating consequences of not being able to effectively counter global health threats. AMR is arguably one of the most severe long-term threats to human, animal, and environmental health. There is momentum for global political action around novel and emerging disease threats and Steering Against Superbugs contributes with original and insightful research to inform ongoing and future debates.

Olivier Rubin is a disaster expert specializing in exploring the political and bureaucratic dynamics of slow-onset disasters such as famines, climate-induced disasters, pandemics, and antimicrobial resistance. With twenty years of experience in disaster and crisis management, Rubin has received several highly competitive multiyear grants and published widely in international outlets pertaining to crisis management, politics & public administration, and public health. Dr Rubin's recent years have been devoted to health crisis research with investigations of the global governance of antimicrobial resistance and the challenges of integrating evidence-based decision making in major health crises responses. Erik Baekkeskov is a political scientist who researches and teaches governance at the intersection of public health and crisis management. His theoretical work has particularly focused on the roles of science and experts, and the related logic of policy-making and public administration. His empirical work has focused on cases of public health threats, including the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, 2014 Ebola, 2020 COVID-19, and the growing antimicrobial resistance crisis. His work is published in public policy, public administration, and public health academic journals and volumes. Louise Munkholm is an independent researcher and consultant. She holds a PhD in social science from Roskilde University. Her research focuses on the sociology of law, including the development, application, and enforcement of regulatory responses to transnational phenomena, such as AMR. Her scholarly publications include books with Hart Publishing and Routledge, and articles in journals such the Journal of Law and Society, Globalization and Health, the Journal of Public Health Policy, and Public Administration and Development.
