Publisher's Synopsis
The efforts to establish partnerships between intergovernmental organizations and nongovernmental organizations involved in AIDS prevention and control is the focus of this study.;Peter Soderholm analyzes the processes of global governance of AIDS from three different perspectives. Firstly, a Gramscian framework highlighting discourses, stresses the struggle between competing notions of what approriate interventions should focus on, as well as which actors should play a part in the control of AIDS. Secondly, an interorganizational framework emphasizes organizational bargaining over scarce resources and competition for a leading role in AIDS policymaking. Lastly, a network perspective is explored, this brings to the fore informal negotiations in networks between key individuals.;Each framework reveals different forces and tensions, and privileges different actors in the global governance of AIDS.
