It should be essential reading for people interested in the politics of AIDS, public health, and public policy making more generally.\"--Choice \"Lieberman's book has the great merit of casting peremptory conclusions about HIV\/AIDS implementation in national contexts, and, as such, it constitutes a landmark in the political analysis of epidemic response. Though being a scholarly book, it appeals to wider audience interested in major international social and development policy ... since it proposes thoroughly argued explanations for specific policy behaviors.\"--Ricardo Pereira, CEU Political Science Journal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIllustrations ix  Abbreviations xi  Preface xiii      Chapter One: Introduction 1  The Puzzle Of Explaining Government Policy 5  AIDS as a Laboratory for Comparison: Politics in Really Hard Times 10  Outline of the Book 18      Chapter Two: A Theory of Boundary Politics and Alternative Explanations 25  Ethnic Boundaries 28  The Effect of Boundaries on Policymaking 35  Implications for AIDS Policy 42  Additional and Alternative Explanations 50  Conclusion 59      Chapter Three: Globalization and Global Governance of AIDS: The Geneva Consensus 61  The Rise of Asymmetric Global Health Governance 65  The Emergence of the Global Response to AIDS 72  The Content of the Geneva Consensus 86  The Limits of Consensus 106  Conclusion 107      Chapter Four: Partial and Alternative Explanations of Policy Divergence 125  The Effect of Boundary Institutions 142  Conclusion 171      Chapter Five: A Model-Testing Case Study of Strong Ethnic Boundaries and AIDS Policy in India 173  India's AIDS Epidemic 177  The Government's Response: Weak and Delayed 181  Explanation: The Role of Boundary Politics 193  Explaining Policy Variation across Indian States 220  Conclusions and Alternative Explanations 234      Chapter Six: Ethnic Boundaries and AIDS Policies around the World 239  The Data 240  Analysis and Discussion: Estimates of the Effect of Boundaries on AIDS Policy 261  Conclusion 288      Chapter Seven: Conclusion: Ethnic Boundaries or Cosmopolitanism? 292  Implications 295  Future Research 303  References 307  Index 331","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403766145367,"sku":"9780691140193","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780691140193.jpg?v=1730484478","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/boundaries-of-contagion-9780691140193","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
