Over the past three decades, HIV/AIDS has become a central global health concern, and studies on the global governance of AIDS have also increased signifi cantly. Drawing on a global ethnography perspective, this article offers a review of several empirical studies on AIDS governance in transnational contexts, with a focus on the making and remaking of social scales in transnational processes. Instead of “black-boxing” globalization, a methodology of global ethnography views globalization as a product of specifi c political, economic, cultural, or social projects; it seeks to unpack the ways in which social relations across sites and scales are imagined, built, and experienced by situated actors. This review article demonstrates that research on AIDS governance may benefit from such an approach by incorporating an analysis of how multi-scalar power relations are implicated in AIDS responses located in certain areas. Moreover, in the review, the article highlights some of the salient political implications of neoliberalism for AIDS governance, including the responsibilization of the nongovernmental sector and the entrepreneurialization of patient subjects. It concludes with a reflection on potential directions for future work on AIDS governance that involve a grounded perspective of globalization. |
