HIV/AIDS remains a major global health problem, despite the
progress made in its prevention and treatment. Addressing this
problem is not only a matter of more and better drugs, they need to
be widely accessible and be affordable to the poor. This book
makes, with a much welcomed interdisciplinary approach, an
excellent contribution to understanding how the intellectual
property regime can influence health policies and the lives of
millions of people affected by the disease. The analysis provided
by the various authors that contributed to this book will be of
relevance not only to those working in the area of HIV/AIDS, but to
those more broadly interested in public health governance and the
role of intellectual property rights.' - Carlos Correa, University
of Buenos Aires, Argentina'This is an important, innovative and, at
times, controversial collection. Inter-disciplinary in approach,
this collection will have appeal to those concerned with the global
injustice in the context of HIV/AIDS. Investigating the legal,
political and economic determinants of access to essential
medicines, this is thought provoking collection which will resonate
with many in both the academic and public policy community.' -
Bryan Mercurio, The Chinese University of Hong Kong This important
book brings together leading scholars from multiple disciplines,
including intellectual property, human rights, public health, and
development studies, as well as activists to critically reflect on
the global health governance regime. The Global Governance of
HIV/AIDS explores the implications of high international
intellectual property standards for access to essential medicines
in developing countries. With a focus on HIV/AIDS governance, the
volume provides a timely analysis of the international legal and
political landscape, the relationship between human rights and
intellectual property, and emerging issues in global health policy.
It concludes with concrete strategies on how to improve access to
HIV/AIDS medicines. This interdisciplinary, global, and up-to-date
book will strongly appeal to academics in law, international
relations, health policy and public policy, as well as students,
policymakers and activists. Contributors include: F.M. Abbott, O.
