Les etats face au Sida en Europe (review)

Monika Steffen has produced an interesting survey of the ways in which four European countries—France, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy—have responded to the AIDS crisis. While noting that in the scale of suffering these countries have not been strongly touched ("France and Spain, the two countries of the European Union most strongly affected by AIDS, have fewer cases than New York City" [p. 10]), she aims to survey how the European welfare states have dealt with AIDS. Writing from a public-policy perspective, she shows how countries with relatively flexible but well-integrated systems have adapted to the crisis somewhat better than others
