Klappentext zu „Virus Alert “
In his analysis of the security implications of HIV/AIDS, Stefan Elbe addresses three concerns: the empirical evidence that justifies framing HIV/AIDS as a security issue, the meanings of the term "security" used in relation to the disease, and the political consequences of responding to the AIDS pandemic in the language of security. The book exposes a range of dangers accompanying efforts to manage the global spread of HIV/AIDS through the policy frameworks of national security, human security, and risk management. Beyond developing strategies for mitigating these dangers, Elbe's research shows how policymakers and international institutions construing the AIDS pandemic as a threat also implicitly seek to integrate current security practices within a particular rationalization of political rule. Elbe identifies this transformation as the "governmentalization" of security and, drawing on the recently translated work of Michel Foucault, develops a framework for analyzing its key elements and consequences.
