Introduction

Focusing on selected African countries and sub-regional organizations, this book explores the policy dynamics of HIV/AIDS and the security sector. The volume examines the impacts of the epidemic on the security sector in specific countries, the policies that seek to address these impacts, and the challenges that HIV/AIDS poses to bodies such as peacekeeping missions and the military, together with the police and prison services. Accordingly, some of the chapters extend the scope of the analysis by addressing thematic issues such as HIV, gender and related socioeconomic and cultural challenges.
