AIDS has a unique political history. As fears grew of a global
pandemic on the scale of AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS was
briefly treated as an issue of high politics in the international
arena and generated significant resources for country programmes.
That initial commitment is now declining, and if AIDS is to
maintain its visibility and contribution to global solidarity,
human rights and dignity, its politics will have to evolve to
reflect the profound geo-political, economic and social
transformations underway today. This volume brings together leading
scholars from a variety of disciplines who work at the intersection
of politics and HIV. They reflect on the lessons learned from the
past thirty years of the politics of AIDS and how political
science, writ large, can further contribute to the understanding
and practice of political mobilization around AIDS. Through case
studies and analysis, new insights into identity politics and
social movements in countries as diverse as Brazil, Switzerland,
Vietnam and Zambia are offered alongside new approaches to
understanding the determinants and incentives which generate
political will and commitment. This book was published as a special
issue of Contemporary Politics.
