Area of Science:

Bioethics
International Relations
Global Health Ethics

Background:

The practical intersection of bioethics and international relations is growing.
Current engagement remains largely at the applied level, lacking theoretical depth.

Purpose of the Study:

To review literature and identify the epistemological potential for dialogue between bioethics and international relations.
To explore how theoretical frameworks can foster a more robust interdisciplinary relationship.

Main Methods:

A literature review of 18 articles connecting bioethics and international relations.
Articles were sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, Bireme, and PubMed.
Content analysis categorized articles into themes: bioethics and global health, international organizations and bioethics, and international relations and bioethics.

Main Results:

Identified a substantial untapped potential for epistemological synergy between the two fields.
Demonstrated that existing research clusters around global health, international organizations, and the core disciplines.
Highlighted the need for a more profound theoretical connection.

Conclusions:

An epistemological convergence between bioethics and international relations is highly desirable.
Proposes the creation of "international relations in health" and "international relations from the South" as new interdisciplinary fields.
Suggests leveraging Latin American bioethics' conceptual framework for these new areas.
