Reviews
'Jessica Rich breaks new ground in the study of the conditions under which social movements can endure and work with state institutions to advance their policy goals. Her study of the interaction between AIDS activists and bureaucrats in Brazil challenges much of the conventional wisdom about the political impact of social movements and their relations to the state. This is a rare book that promises to change the way scholars think about state-civil society relations and the politics of social policy reform.' Kenneth M. Roberts, Richard J. Schwartz Professor of Government, Cornell University, New York
'This book sets a new agenda for scholars of social movements, interest representation, policy-making, and public health . Contrary to popular notion that corporatism is a relic of the past, Jessica Ri ch argues that state actors in the twenty-first century remain deeply involved in shaping and subsidizing groups in civil society. Her innovative contribution to theories of state-society relations is embedded in a revealing analysis of Brazil's stunning policy success - addressing the HIV/AIDS epidemic.' David Collier, Chancellor's Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley
