Japan addresses the Global HIV/AIDS crisis: the roles of media and civil society in shaping perceptions and aid / Kim, Young Soo   Article
Kim, Young Soo Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Japan's response to the global HIV/AIDS crisis in the 1980s was lukewarm, due mainly to the absence of a domestic perception of AIDS as an immediate threat. The key determinants of that perception were rare cases of AIDS infections in Japan, a detrimental media role, and weak civil society. Japanese media contributed to shaping a flawed image of AIDS as a foreign disease or a disease of homosexuality and promiscuity. Moreover, civil society organizations were not strong enough to create momentum for reformulating the distorted perception or catalyzing specific policies. Not until the early 1990s did Japan's global AIDS funding increase. The policy shift was in tandem with the rising influence of newly emerged civil activist groups.

Summary/Abstract Good governance has a wide connotation; it is synonymous with securing justice, empowerment, employment and efficient delivery of services. It is also referred to as the quality of relation between market, state and civil society. Accountability, transparency, predictability and participation, are considered to be the four key components of good governance. Achieving good governance requires the understanding and participation of every member of the society. The media, their roles, channels and contents, are considered powerful enough to make this achievement a reality.
