Description:Finely-focused in approach, this collection of readings addresses the AIDS crisis from a purely political, policy, and bureaucratic perspective, reflecting contemporary research on the epidemic. Encourages readers to think in terms of "risk behavior" and not risk groups and shows that AIDS is truly a nondiscriminating virus. KEY TOPICS: Deals with the political and policy dimensions of AIDS -- revealing that this epidemic offers political scientists the opportunity to ask a variety of questions about politics and power and to do so from every subfield of the discipline.
