Book Synopsis The Politics of AIDS in Africa by : Amy Stephenson Patterson
Book excerpt: The author claims the disease has generally been considered too private, biological, behavioral, and cultural to attract much attention from political scientists, and she sets out to change that. She systematically analyzes how the state, democratic transitions, civil society, and donors influence AIDS policy making. Her conclusion is that uncertainty and unevenness in these four aspects has caused the AIDS fight to be insufficiently institutionalized into African politics.
