| Publisher Description: This book argues that the growing AIDS pandemic not only has important health and development ramifications, but is rapidly evolving into an international security issue as well. Drawing primarily on examples from Africa and Asia, the study contends that they only mark the beginning of a more pervasive challenge that is likely to unfold over several decades unless greater international efforts to address the pandemic are taken. |
