![]() | Boundaries of Contagion Subjects: Gesundheitspolitik; AIDS; Health Policy.; Ethnic Groups.; Developing Countries.; Cross-Cultural Comparison.; HIV Infections; Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; Ethnic relations; AIDS (Disease); AIDS (Disease); Why have governments responded to the HIV/AIDS pandemic in such different ways? During the past quarter century, international agencies and donors have disseminated vast resources and a set of best practice recommendations to policymakers around the globe. Yet the governments of developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean continue to implement widely varying policies. Boundaries of Contagion is the first systematic, comparative analysis of the politics of HIV/AIDS. The book explores the political challenges of responding to a stigmatized condition, and identifies ethnic boundaries--the formal and informal institutions that divide societies--as a central influence on politics and policymaking. Evan S. Lieberman is associate professor of politics at Princeton University. |
