Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xviii + 445 pages, NOT ex-library. A clean and bright copy with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Published without a dust jacket. -- This ambitious book provides a comprehensive history of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Programme on AIDS (GPA), using it as a unique lens to trace the global response to the AIDS pandemic. The authors describe how WHO came initially to assume leadership of the global response, relate the strategies and approaches WHO employed over the years, and expound on the factors that led to the Programme's demise and subsequent formation of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS(UNAIDS). The authors examine the global impact of this momentous transition, portray the current status of the global response to AIDS, and explore the precarious situation that WHO finds itself in today as a lead United Nations agency in global health. Several aspects of the global response - the strategies adopted, the roads taken and not taken, and the lessons learned - can provide helpful guidance to the global health community as it continues tackling the AIDS pandemic and confronts future global pandemics. Included in the coverage: - The response before the global response; - Building and coordinating a multi-sectoral response; - Containing the global spread of HIV; - Addressing stigma, discrimination, and human rights; - Rethinking global AIDS governance; - UNAIDS and its place in the global response. The AIDS Pandemic: Searching for a Global Response recounts the global response to the AIDS pandemic from its inception to today. Policymakers, students, faculty, journalists, researchers, and health professionals interested in HIV/AIDS, global health, global pandemics, and the history of medicine will find it highly compelling and consequential. It will also interest those involved in global affairs, global governance, international relations, and international development. -- Contents: Part I Global Mobilization in a Pandemic: 1 The Response Before the Global Response 2 The Launch of the Control Programme on AIDS 3 Creating a Global Response 4 Assuming Global Leadership 5 Building and Coordinating a Multisectoral Response 6 Health, Human Rights, and the Global Programme on AIDS 7 The Resignation of Jonathan Mann; Part II From Mobilization to Managing in a Pandemic: 8 The Transition 9 Enhancing Program Delivery 10 Containing the Global Spread of HIV 11 Supporting Research 12 Addressing Stigma, Discrimination, and Human Rights 13 Challenges and Criticisms 14 Growing Tensions Among United Nations Agencies; Part III Seeking Global Coordination in a Pandemic: 15 Rethinking Global AIDS Governance 16 End of the Global Programme on AIDS and the Launch of UNAIDS 17 UNAIDS: Trying to Gain Traction 18 UNAIDS: Finding its Place in Congested Waters; Part IV Lessons Learned and the Future of the Global Response: 19 Conclusion; Appendix 1 Background on the Formation and Structure of the World Health Organization; Appendix 2 Structure of the United Nations; Appendix 3 Interviews; Appendix 4 Establishment of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Timeline; Appendix 5 World Health Organization 1993 Study of a Joint and co-sponsored United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS: Synopsis of Options at Global Level; Appendix 6 World Health Organization 1993 Study of a Joint and co-sponsored United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS: Synopsis of Options at Country Level; Appendix 7 United Nations Economic and Social Council Resolution 1994/24 on Joint and co-sponsored Programme on Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome; Appendix 8 UNAIDS Technical Support Division of Labor, Summary and Rationale 2005: Division of Responsibility Among UNAIDS co-sponsors; Glossary of Terms; Index.…
