This book examines the global governance of the HIV/AIDS epidemic,
interrogating the role of this international system and global
discourse on HIV/AIDS interventions. The geographical focus is
Sub-Saharan Africa since the region has been at the forefront of
these interventions. There is a need to understand the relationship
between the international political environment and the impact of
resulting policies on HIV/AIDS in the context of people's lives.
Hakan Seckinelgin points out a certain disjuncture between this
governance structures and the way people experience the disease in
their everyday lives. Although the structure allows people to
emerge as policy relevant target groups and beneficiaries, the
articulation of needs and design of policy interventions tends to
reflect international priorities rather than people's thinking on
the problem. In other words, he argues that while the international
interventions highlight the importance attributed to the HIV/AIDS
problem, the nature ofthe system does not allow interventions to be
far reaching and sustainable.
Offering a critical contribution to the understanding of the
problems in HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa, International Politics
of HIV/AIDS will be invaluable to students and researchers of
health, international politics and development.
