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.

New essays on Thomas Traherne challenge traditional critical
readings of the poet. Thomas Traherne has all too often been
defined and studied as a solitary thinker, "out of his time", and
not as a participant in the complex intellectual currents of the
period. The essays collected here take issue with this reading,
placing Traherne firmly in his historical context and situating his
work within broader issues in seventeenth-century studies and the
history of ideas. They draw on recently published textual
discoveries alongside manuscripts which will soon be published for
the first time. They address major themes in Traherne studies,
including Traherne's understanding of matter and spirit, his
attitude towards happiness and holiness, his response to solitude
and society, and his Anglican identity. As a whole, the volume aims
to re-ignite discussion on settled readings of Traherne's work, to
reconsider issues in Traherne scholarship which have long lain
dormant, and to supplement our picture of the man and his writings
through new discoveries and insights. Elizabeth S. Dodd is

This book examines engagements with financial services in contexts
of conflict. Using Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo
as case studies, it explores informal financial and business
strategies and how these shift during conflict. Through a
combination of regression analyses and panel data modeling with
fixed effects, the project research indicates that conflict has a
stronger effect on the nature of demand for credit and savings
services than it has on the actual performance of financial
institutions. In examining these patterns, the importance of
networks and family becomes increasingly important-not just in the
ways they are important to us as individuals, but as important
determinants of post-war outcomes.

Inspired by the Consumer Credit Act 2006, this detailed work offers
practical guidance on the legislation. The scope and impact of the
regulation is undergoing fundamental change; for example, financial
limits on regulation are being partially removed, the OFT are given
the power to fine licensees, an Ombudsman scheme is being
introduced and agreements can be reopened where the relationship
arising is held to be unfair. This book addresses topics of
practical concern and examines the areas most relevant to
practitioners drafting, securitising or seeking to defend claims
under credit or hire agreements. In particular, the book focuses on
the outstanding problems and issues arising from the application of
the Consumer Credit Act. In-depth commentary is provided by an
expert author team who have appeared in many recent cases where
enforceability of rights under credit and hire agreements has been
in issue.

The work of Bryan D. Palmer, one of North America's leading
historians, has influenced the fields of labour history, social
history, discourse analysis, communist history, and Canadian
history, as well as the theoretical frameworks surrounding them.
Palmer's work reveals a life dedicated to dissent and the difficult
task of imagining alternatives by understanding the past in all of
its contradictions, victories, and failures. Dissenting Traditions
gathers Palmer's contemporaries, students, and sometimes critics to
examine and expand on the topics and themes that have defined
Palmer's career, from labour history to Marxism and communist
politics.
