1. Disease and human security -- 2. Factors associated with the increased incidence and spread of infectious diseases -- 3. AIDS in South Africa: extent, implications, and response -- 4. U.S. security and the risk posed by infectious diseases -- 5. U.S. capabilities to counter infectious diseases -- 6. Conclusion. This study offers a more comprehensive analysis of the security implications of the spread of infectious diseases than has been done to date. The study examines the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa, highlighting this particular crisis as a graphic example of the devastating effects that infectious disease can have on virtually every aspect of a state's functioning viability. It also makes a detailed analysis of the United States, delineating the threat posed by specific diseases; assessing the effectiveness of the existing public health infrastructure; and offering specific actions that can be taken to improve the country's ability to meet this emerging challenge. |
