Informationen zum Autor VLAD KRAVTSOV earned a PhD in political science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 2011. His work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and he currently serves as co-investigator on the study Understanding Global Governance in a Globalizing World: International Cooperation in Response to HIV/ AIDS . He is a frequent contributor to the debates about current affairs in the Russian media. Klappentext Although adopting global norms often improves domestic systems of governance, domestic obstacles to norm diffusion are frequent. States that decide to reinvent their political authority simultaneously evaluate which current global norms are desirable and to what extent. In this study, Vlad Kravtsov argues that recent debates about the nature of authority in Putin's Russia and Mbeki's South Africa have resulted in a set of unique ideas on the cardinal goals of the state. This is the first book to explore how these consensual ideas have shaped health governance and impinged on norm diffusion processes.Detailed comparisons of HIV/AIDS governance systems in Russia and South Africa illustrate the argument. The Kremlin's dislike of international recommendations stemmed from the rapidly maturing statism and great power syndrome. Pretoria's responses to global AIDS norms were consistent with the ideas of the African Renaissance, which highlighted indigenousness, market-based empowerment, and moral leadership in global affairs. This book explains how and why the governments under investigation framed the nature of the epidemic, provided evidence-based prevention services, increased universal access to proven lifesaving medicines, and interacted with other participants in social practice.

This is the first book to explore how these consensual ideas have shaped health governance and impinged on norm diffusion processes....
