AIDS in Pakistan: Bureaucracy, Public Goods and NGOs de Ayaz Qureshi

AIDS in Pakistan: Bureaucracy, Public Goods and NGOs

Autor Ayaz Qureshi
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 ian 2019
This book is the first full-length study of HIV/AIDS work in relation to government and NGOs. In the early 2000s, Pakistan’s response to HIV/AIDS was scaled-up and declared an area of urgent intervention. This response was funded by international donors requiring prevention, care and support services to be contracted out to NGOs - a global policy considered particularly important in Pakistan where the high risk populations are criminalized by the state. 

Based on unparalleled ethnographic access to government bureaucracies and their dealings with NGOs, Qureshi examines how global policies were translated by local actors and how they responded to the evolving HIV/AIDS crisis. 

The book encourages readers to reconsider the orthodoxy of policies regarding public-private partnership by critiquing the resulting changes in the bureaucracy, civil society and public goods. It is a must-read for students, scholars and practitioners concernedwith neoliberal agendas in global health and development.

Recenzii

“This ethnography has valuable insights for practitioners and academics, and it raises interesting comparisons for the rise and demise of other global health or development initiatives in Pakistan. … Qureshi's book will have wider resonance for studies of sexuality, law, public health, government, development, democracy and societal change in the Islamic Republic, and it deserves to be read widely.” (Nichola Khan, Bloomsbury Pakistan, April 10, 2018)
