Description: The HIV/AIDS epidemic is showing scant signs of slowing down; its political impact varies greatly and is difficult to map. Providing an incisive study of the global plague that threatens existing social, economic and human interrelations, this innovative volume assesses how HIV/AIDS affects governance and, conversely, how governance affects the course of the epidemic.
Review Quotes: 'This book provides extensive evidence and a useful collection of analyses across health, development and social science paradigms on the way the AIDS epidemic is affecting various aspects of governance. It provides a stimulating contribution to debates on the political dimensions of and interplay between the global, national and local responses to AIDS.' Dr Rene Loewenson, Director, Training and Research Support Centre, Zimbabwe
