This book studies the role of civil society organisations in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Russia. It looks at how Russia’s HIV/AIDS epidemic has developed into a serious social, economic and political problem, and how according to the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Russia is currently facing the biggest HIV/AIDS epidemic in all of Europe with an estimated number of 980,000 people living with HIV in 2009. The book investigates civil society organisations’ contribution to social change and civil society development in post-Soviet Russia, and thus situates a specific type of civil society actors into a broader socio-political context and questions their ability to represent civic interests, particularly in the field of social policy-making and health. This allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of state-society relations in present-day Russia, and gives insight into the ways HIV/AIDS NGOs in Russia have used transnational ties in order to exert influence on domestic policy-making in the field of HIV/AIDS.

Der Sammelband untersucht die Entwicklung der beiden sich überschneidenden Epidemien HIV/AIDS und Hepatitis C in Zentralasien und China vor dem Hintergrund der Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung der Vereinten Nationen. Beide Epidemien haben erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die öffentliche Gesundheit und betreffen insbesondere Drogenkonsumierende. Zur Eindämmung der Epidemien ist es daher unerlässlich, Präventionsprogramme für vulnerable Gruppen zu entwickeln und der Stigmatisierung und gesellschaftlichen Marginalisierung entgegenzuwirken. Die Publikation vereint Länderkapitel und Fallstudien zu übergreifenden Themen wie der Darstellung von HIV/AIDS in den Medien, der Rolle von NGOs und der Durchführung von Programmen zur Schadensbegrenzung.Mit Beiträgen vonZhyldyz Bakirova | Alla Bessonova | Azizbek Boltaev | Daniel Deimel | Jiang Du | Tynchtyk Estebes uulu | Anna Meryem Grabski | Sandugash Ismagulova | Medet Kudabekov | Ingo Ilja Michels | Dalida Mukasheva | Nurgul Musaeva | Sona Orbelyan | Tatsiana Pikirenia | Uladzimir Pikirenia | Mariya Prilutskaya | Safarkhon Sattorov | Jarkyn Shadymanova | Alijon Soliev | Larissa Steimle | Heino Stöver | Hang Su | Umed Talbov | Asel Tentigenova | Mykyta Trofymenko | Yifan Xu | Dinara Yessimova | Guzalkhon Zakhidova
