> comparative analyses of influenza in social memory, science, medicine,
> public policy, and national and international health. Second, it aims to
> explore the roots of key problems in current pandemic planning, including

> and disease governance. Finally, it seeks to examine the nature, value and
> limitations of historical analysis in disease policy-making.
