	abstract = {In this article, we analyze UK global health policy in the light of the 2014 Ebola epidemic. Specifically, we focus on the UK government{\textquoteright}s intervention in the epidemic, reflections on the UK{\textquoteright}s response in parliamentary committees and government-sponsored forums, and subsequent UK global health policy changes. Post-Ebola, we argue, UK global health policy turned into a pursuit of global health emergency-preparedness through development. This, we further suggest, resulted from what we identify as the specific structure of the UK{\textquoteright}s emergency-preparedness configuration that creates a {\textquoteleft}spill-over{\textquoteright} between the immediate event (of emergency) and future preparedness. This configuration transmits problems between different temporalities {\textendash} allowing immediate, urgent problems to become problems of future uncertainty (and future uncertainties to be enacted as urgent problems). In activating emergencypreparedness, furthermore, self-scrutiny is triggered {\textendash} prompting the UK to assume responsibility for problems identified as threats regardless of their point of origin, thus internalizing external problems.},
