A Sociotheological Approach to Catholic Social TeachingCatholic Social Teaching, Global Public Health, and White-Collar Crime During COVID-19

[Utilizing some insights from the sociology of science and technology, primarily from the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and moral principles of Catholic social teaching (CST) on ecology and the common good as the primary theoretical framework, as well as applying the secondary analysis of qualitative data from articles, books, media and government reports, this chapter analyzes the three major macro factors that weaken the human surveillance system against fraud and white-collar crimes (WCCs) during COVID-19. It argues that the “medicalization” of the COVID-19 pandemic, the limited global enforcement powers of the World Health Organization, and the negative impact of globalization on state regulation, have weakened the state’s power to monitor and sanction WCCs in public health. It also contends that protecting the common good and human ecology during pandemics requires not only a strong infrastructure that detects and prevents emerging viruses that turn into pandemics but also an effective surveillance and law enforcement system that supervise and sanctions powerful people, firms, states, and non-state networks behind the current global COVID-19 response structure who might take advantage of the pandemic chaos to commit WCCs for personal and corporate gain. This chapter recommends the strengthening of the governance and law enforcement system of the state, World Health Organization, and the international civil society network against fraud and WCCs to protect the global common good and ecology during the pandemic.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[Utilizing some insights from the sociology of science and technology, primarily from the Actor-Network Theory (ANT), and moral principles of Catholic social teaching (CST) on ecology and the common good as the primary theoretical framework, as well as applying the secondary analysis of qualitative data from articles, books, media and government reports, this chapter analyzes the three major macro factors that weaken the human surveillance system against fraud and white-collar crimes (WCCs) during COVID-19. It argues that the “medicalization” of the COVID-19 pandemic, the limited global enforcement powers of the World Health Organization, and the negative impact of globalization on state regulation, have weakened the state’s power to monitor and sanction WCCs in public health. It also contends that protecting the common good and human ecology during pandemics requires not only a strong infrastructure that detects and prevents emerging viruses that turn into pandemics but also an effective surveillance and law enforcement system that supervise and sanctions powerful people, firms, states, and non-state networks behind the current global COVID-19 response structure who might take advantage of the pandemic chaos to commit WCCs for personal and corporate gain. This chapter recommends the strengthening of the governance and law enforcement system of the state, World Health Organization, and the international civil society network against fraud and WCCs to protect the global common good and ecology during the pandemic.]
