The World Bank and HIV/AIDS
The governance of HIV/AIDS has come to represent a multi-faceted and complex operation set and sustained by the World Bank. The governance of HIV/AIDS is a political project that seeks to embed liberal practice through individual, state, and community behaviour. At the heart of this practice is the drive to impose blueprint neoliberal market-based solutions on a personal-global issue. This book unravels how the Bank’s good governance agenda and commitment to participation, ownership and transparency manifests itself in practice through the Multi-Country AIDS Program (MAP), and crucially how it is pushing an agenda that sees a shift in both global health interventions and state configuration in subSaharan Africa. The book considers the mechanisms used by the Bank – and the problems therein – to engage the state, civil society and the individual in responding to the HIV/AIDS crisis, and how these mechanisms have been exported to other global projects such as the Global Fund and UNAIDS. Harman argues that not only has the Bank set the global agenda for HIV/AIDS, but underpinning this is a wider commitment to liberal governance through neoliberal incentive. Making an important contribution to our understanding of global governance and international politics, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of politics, international political economy, international relations, development studies and civil society. Sophie Harman is a Lecturer in International Politics at City University, London.
