  • af Jeremy R. Youde

    Through an in-depth examination of the interactions between the South African government and the international AIDS control regime, this book examines the emergence of an epistemic community, and the development of a counter-epistemic community offering fundamentally different understandings of AIDS and radically different policy prescriptions.

  • - Interdisciplinary Perspectives
    af Michael J. Selgelid

    The actual or potential burden of infectious diseases is sometimes so great that governments treat them as threats to national security. However, such treatment potentially increases the risk that emergency disease-control measures will be ineffective, counterproductive and/or unjust.

  • - Sub-Saharan Africa
     
    1.782,95 kr.

    The disproportional loss of individuals to HIV/AIDS in their most productive years raises concerns over the welfare of surviving members of affected families and communities. One consequence of the rapid increase in adult mortality is the rise in the proportion of children who are orphaned. Sub-Saharan Africa, accounts for about 90 percent of these. Mainly due to the staggering toll of HIV/AIDS, research effort has focused on treatment and prevention. Children have received attention primarily in relation to ''mother to child transmission'' and paediatric AIDS. These issues are important and compelling but fail to capture the whole story - the unprecedented surge in the number of children made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS. In this book we reflect on the plight of children classified as vulnerable, review interventions implemented to improve their welfare and grapple with the concept of vulnerability as it relates to human rights and the African child.
