Barbados context Clause Samples

Barbados context. This chapter re-constructs the process of HIV/AIDS policy making in Barbados. I use the analytic technique of process tracing to assess whether the absence of electoral market imperfections made scaling up response to AIDS easier and more appealing for the political elites on the island. First, I describe the level of electoral market imperfections. Second, I outline the historical evolution of the response to AIDS on the island and show how the imperfections affected the political calculus and ultimately, the policy response.
