Opis

This is a comprehensive analysis of the dynamic and complex problem of AIDS policymaking. Siplon analyzes the five major AIDS policy areas--medical treatment, blood policy, transmission prevention, social services delivery and AIDS-based foreign policy--and the policy issues: definition (right vs. commodity), regulation, competing values, distributive policy, and membership in groups awarded resources. The complexity of AIDS policymaking is such that each policy creates a new problem.
