The Politics of AIDS: Globalization, The State and Civil Society

HIV/AIDS is one of the major political challenges of our time. For more than two decades, various initiatives have been taken to respond to the disease, not just by governments, but also by research communities, transnational corporations and in the context of civil society. Based on empirical observations from different parts of the world, this book addresses the fact that HIV/AIDS has become increasingly transnational, as nation states extend their programs across broders.

This book looks specifically at political aspects of AIDS and links global issues and trends to national cases.
