Download or read book The Politics of HIV AIDS in Russia written by Ulla Pape and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the role of civil society organisations in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Russia. It looks at how Russia’s HIV/AIDS epidemic has developed into a serious social, economic and political problem, and how according to the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Russia is currently facing the biggest HIV/AIDS epidemic in all of Europe with an estimated number of 980,000 people living with HIV in 2009. The book investigates civil society organisations’ contribution to social change and civil society development in post-Soviet Russia, and thus situates a specific type of civil society actors into a broader socio-political context and questions their ability to represent civic interests, particularly in the field of social policy-making and health. This allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of state-society relations in present-day Russia, and gives insight into the ways HIV/AIDS NGOs in Russia have used transnational ties in order to exert influence on domestic policy-making in the field of HIV/AIDS.

Download or read book STATE RESPONSE TO THE HIV AIDS EPIDEMIC IN RUSSIA written by Elena Sokolova and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the twentieth century, political scientists observed a remarkable increase in policy convergence across disparate issue areas. The literature on policy diffusion suggests that countries are likely to converge around internationally accepted norms of behavior. These include, for example, public health policies designed to deal with epidemics such as polio, tuberculosis, SARS, and HIV/AIDS. Most countries treat these epidemics in similar and in some cases almost identical ways. States where epidemics emerge relatively late are at an extraordinary advantage. They not only have the expertise of a number of international organizations and their technical assistance at their disposal, but also the experience of other states. Once successful policies to address such epidemics are identified, many states choose to adopt these approaches. However, when it comes to the prevention of HIV/AIDS, Russia's policy is an outlier. While the Russian Federation is facing the fastest growing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Eastern Europe, it remains one of the few states that refuses to implement key interventions. The goal of this dissertation is to examine why this is the case. I investigate the role of domestic factors in shaping HIV/AIDS policies in Russia. Existing literature suggests that the political regime, the development of civil society, and patterns of federalism are some of the factors that might explain variation in state responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In contrast, I demonstrate that path-dependent factors, such as the influence of the medical epistemic community and the politics of morality, account for the absence of HIV/AIDS policy diffusion in Russia. I argue that in the Russian Federation, HIV/AIDS prevention policies are undermined due to lack of state will and centralized authority. Therefore, individual agencies conduct interventions without a specific mandate to prioritize a response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. These agencies design and implement interventions in accordance with their established priorities, norms, and practices, which are strongly path-dependent. In particular, I show that institutionalized influence of the domestic medical epistemic community and the politics of morality on policy-making processes prevent the adoption of best practices in Russia's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Download or read book Global HIV AIDS Politics Policy and Activism written by Raymond A. Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 1246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An international team of specialists in politics, policy, and activism provide an indispensable guide to the persistent challenges and emerging issues posed by the global HIV/AIDS epidemic, now in its fourth decade. The HIV/AIDS epidemic is at a critical turning point. Compelling new findings herald the potential to eventually grind the epidemic to a halt through a combination of expanded treatment coverage and new biomedical approaches to prevention. At the same time, the severe global economic downturns have negatively affected wealthy donor nations that have provided the funds and technical support for programs in the developing world. It is against this backdrop that this landmark three-volume set was developed. It provides a broad overview of the critical political issues surrounding HIV/AIDS, inspects key areas of policy and policymaking, and spotlights the most important forms of activism and community mobilization. The volumes reflect an eclectic and wide-ranging set of issues written by an international team comprising dozens of authors from nations including the United States, the United Kingdom, Ghana, South Africa, Brazil, Cambodia, Norway, and Qatar. The international contributors represent a variety of disciplines and bring with them a range of styles and methodological approaches appropriate to their specific topics and disciplines. An important addition to academic and public libraries, this expansive work will benefit students and other readers interested in politics, policymaking, public health, activism, and community mobilization, both in the United States and globally.
