Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa

<p><em>Public Policy Lessons from the AIDS Response in Africa </em>examines how the interplay between national state dynamics in Africa and the global political arena has shaped the global AIDS response and in this context develops a framework for analysing public policy action more broadly in contemporary Africa.</p><p>By applying comparative political sociology to AIDS public action this book identifies four political models that are applicable to public initiatives. Fred Eboko goes on to test these in other domains – namely the malaria and tuberculosis health subsectors and the education and environment sectors. By articulating global and national connections and contributing a critical perspective grounded in African scholarship and French political science the author builds a bold and ambitious framework with the potential to enable coherent and effective public policy action in Africa.</p><p>This book will be of interest to scholars and students of public health global health political science and development studies as well as policy-level practitioners in the areas of global health and development.</p>
