“…Examples of sociocultural factors that have contributed to the increasing prevalence of HIV in the global South include gender inequality, poverty, economic inequality, underdevelopment, globalization, economic migration and social stigmatization 5. Conditional cash transfers showed a reduction in the rate of HIV and herpes incidence, while in Uganda, there was success in a joint action program that cut across the three levels of HPC 4,26. In Thailand, using a 12-year span, multi-pronged program based on community-wide involvement, condom promotion and altered male social norms, there was a decrease in new HIV infections.…”

“…In Thailand, using a 12-year span, multi-pronged program based on community-wide involvement, condom promotion and altered male social norms, there was a decrease in new HIV infections. Thus, structural interventions can aid possible declines in new HIV incidents and thereby sustain HIV prevention 3,26,32. The HPC is hoped to bring out the best practices of the biomedical, behavioral and structural activities from the three levels of intervention services.…”

BackgroundNigeria has the second largest HIV epidemic in the world and one of the highest rates of new infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Within the last three decades, majority of HIV programs in Nigeria were treatment strategies with few prevention approaches. The persistence of HIV prevalence despite the treatment blueprint has led to a concerted call to HIV Prevention Cascade (HPC) theory which ensures continuous sophisticated interrelationship that stretches beyond the biomedical interventions of treatment. To our knowledge, there is no previous review on HPC theory in Nigerian context.ObjectivesThe aim of this review was to explore and outline the HIV/AIDS prevention cascade theory in relation to the achievement of the global 90-90-90 target set by the United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS and suggest possible avenues to maximize on strengths and weaknesses of HPC in Nigeria.MethodsIn this mini-review, the authors utilized standardized search measures in the review of published articles in credible domains across the HPC in PubMed, Research gate, Google Scholar, Mendeley Reference Manager and Cochrane Library from January 1980 to December 2018. Referenced sections of the articles identified were used to hand-search additional references not retrieved by the initial search engines. The authors performed an evaluation of selected studies on three cascade theories: epidemiological, behavioral and social science with an integration of the supply, demand and adherence sides.ResultsWe included nine review articles reporting three different cascade theories. Only one included study applied the cascade theories exclusively in Nigerian context. We could only conduct narrative synthesis.ConclusionThere is scarceness of currently published evidence on HPC in Nigerian context. HPC allows for a paradigm shift and sequential process of events to eliminate the epidemic of HIV using HIV prevention perspectives in Nigerian settings. Since data are sparse, more research is needed on HPC theory.

“…in David Levi-Faur. Developments since the Washington Consensus such as the East Asian financial crisis of 1997 and the Great Economic Recession triggered since 2007-2009 in the citadel of metropolitan capitalism itself in North America, Western Europe and Japan have shown that neoliberalism is not really the panacea for the global and peripheral capitalist economies today. Moreover, Samuel Huntington's Third Wave of Democratisation since 1974 (Huntington, 1993) and the Fourth Wave witnessed later in the Arab Spring since 2011 have not only slowed down but suffered reversals in West Asia, indeed globally (Foreign Affairs, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016Journal of Democracy, 2015). 1 There is also the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which has gone to the extent of proclaiming the Quixotic new Califate to revive the memory of theocratic face of the Ottoman Empire that disintegrated in the wake of the First World War!…”

The issues of inequality and inclusive growth, poverty and privations, service delivery, political and administrative leadership, etc. are central to the discourses of development and democracy in contemporary India and the world. In the earlier social science literature, political scientists largely focused on democracy and economists on development (read economic development). As a firm believer in the value and creative potential of inter-and multi-disciplinary research, I find it disappointing that after a notable and promising attempt in bringing political and economic sciences closer in an interdisciplinary cross-fertilisation by Anthony Downs (1957), there is still not much progress in this direction. In fact, this promising field has been devastatingly blighted by the triumph of neoliberalism as the dominant ideology in the post-Cold War globalising capitalist world.Though these crucial social science disciplines still exist in splendid isolation, by and large, it is heartening to flag a new significant work in Robinson and White (1999) on what they call 'democratic developmental state'. This book challenges the widening consensus over the last two decades that the development in the late developing societies and poor economies is better achieved by authoritarian rather than democratic regimes. They postulate a mutually sustaining relationship between democracy and development. (See an article on Democratic Developmental State in India by Niraj Kumar [2016].)It is a great advance from the myopic concept of 'developmental state' à la
