Through a study of AIDS policy, this book introduces a new model of state-society relations in democratic Brazil.

Recenzje

'This book sets a new agenda for scholars of social movements, interest representation, policy-making, and public health​. Contrary to popular notion that corporatism is a relic of the past, Jessica Ri​​ch argues that state actors in the twenty-first century remain deeply involved in shaping and subsidizing groups in civil society. Her innovative contribution to theories of state-society relations is embedded in a revealing analysis of Brazil's stunning policy success - addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic.' David Collier, Chancellor's Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley
