Why has the response to HIV/AIDS been unique? How did civil society
organizations gain access to global decision-making forums to
demand exceptional attention and resources for HIV/AIDS? This book
seeks to answer these questions, among others, through a critical
international relations approach that enquires into the role of
civil society in global health governance. It documents how civil
society forged the initial response to HIV/AIDS within a
rights-based paradigm, and built international networks. It
analyses why civil society was able to gain the right to
participate in global health institutions and assesses what
influence civil society representatives have within these
institutions, particularly focusing on outcomes related to
institutional legitimacy and downward accountability. It then
discusses changes in the broader political economy of global health
and how HIV/AIDS organizations have, or have not, adapted to these
shifts. Finally the book tells the story of the many struggles
civil society organizations have engaged in to advance a
rights-based response to HIV/AIDS, the transformations achieved and
the resistance experienced.
