Opis

Lisk examines the different perspectives of the global response to HIV/AIDS and the role of the different global institutions (multilateral, public and private) involved, including their impact on outcomes.

Organized to reflect the different perspectives of the global response to HIV/AIDS and the role of the different global institutions involved, Franklyn Lisk critically reviews key issues in the global response to HIV/AIDS. He identifies and analyzes emerging issues in the global HIV/AIDS response and the potential and prospect of global institutions in addressing these issues. In developing this argument, Lisk covers:

• [Power] relationships and tensions between the global North and the global South
• International and regional partnerships between donors and affected countries and implications for national response
• Governance of global institutions and impact on capacities to respond effectively to the epidemic at country and regional levels
• HIV/AIDS as an obstacle to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
