Biomedical revolutions seem to have radically altered the
environment for HIV transmission: anti-retrovirals (ARVs) and drugs
to reduce mother-to-child transmission promise to cut HIV
transmission rates, as does male medical circumcision. However, the
hopeful messages of UNAIDS are tempered with warning about
expenditure shortfalls and calls for funding. Contributions to this
book remind us that, along with the external financial constraints,
there have been new fractures in state power and in the
organisation of health systems. More than this, the book
fundamentally calls into question whether biomedical interventions
can change the social roots of this disease. As well as considering
new policy approaches, the book reasserts a long-standing political
economy approach to HIV and to adapt it to reflect new competing
theoretical approaches. The chapters attempt to connect the debates
about HIV/AIDS to larger discussions about globalisation, class
differentiation, inequity and uneven development in African
countries. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Review of African Political Economy.
