‘Together for Health’? How EU Governance of Health Undermines Active Biological Citizenship

School of Law

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper explores the potential for active biological citizenship in the discursive space opened by the Community law rights to receive cross-border health care services. By focusing on the European Patients’ Forum and the European Public Health Association as examples of actors facilitated by the European Union, the paper notes how this space might provide some opportunities for patients’ strategic engagement, but also how EU governance discourse is shaping and undermining the potential for activism.
