Securing Health - HIV and the Limits of Securitization (Paperback): Suzanne Hindmarch Securing Health - HIV and the Limits of Securitization (Paperback)
Suzanne Hindmarch
R1,208 Discovery Miles 12 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book offers a critical inquiry into the framing of health and disease as a security issue. In particular, the book examines what happens in the United Nations when the ostensibly 'low' politics of global health meet the 'high' politics of security, and when the logic of security comes to shape global health initiatives. It offers a critical re-assessment of efforts in the United Nations system to position HIV as a security threat with the hope that this would attract greater attention and resources for the global HIV response. The book advances securitization theory by presenting a new framework for studying HIV as a policy process, uniting several theoretical strands into a single, powerful model for empirical application. It uses this model to draw attention to important, understudied aspects of HIV securitization, including the role played by discourses about Africa, and the evolution of ideas about HIV and security as actors learned over time. On the basis of this empirically grounded assessment of how securitization works as a theory and a political strategy, the book suggests that securitization is inherently limited, and perhaps dangerous, as a strategy for 'securing' social change. This book will be of much interest to students of critical security studies, global health, development studies, and IR in general.

Seeing Red - HIV/AIDS and Public Policy in Canada (Hardcover): Suzanne Hindmarch, Michael Orsini, Marilou Gagnon Seeing Red - HIV/AIDS and Public Policy in Canada (Hardcover)
Suzanne Hindmarch, Michael Orsini, Marilou Gagnon
R1,838 Discovery Miles 18 380 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What does it mean to think of HIV/AIDS policy in a critical manner? Seeing Red offers the first critical analysis of HIV/AIDS policy in Canada. Featuring the diverse experiences of people living with HIV, this collection highlights various perspectives from academics, activists, and community workers who look ahead to the new and complex challenges associated with HIV/AIDS and Canadian society. In addition to representing a diversity of voices and perspectives, Seeing Red reflects on historical responses to HIV/AIDS in Canada. Among the specific issues addressed are the over-representation of Indigenous peoples among those living with HIV, the criminalization of HIV, and barriers to health and support services, particularly as experienced by vulnerable and marginalized populations. The editors and contributors seek to show that Canada has been neither uniquely compassionate nor proactive when it comes to supporting those living with HIV/AIDS. Instead, this remains a critical area of public policy, one fraught with challenges as well as possibilities.
