Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper focuses on the power of the human body in world relations, as exemplified by the current global HIV/AIDS epidemic. It will argue that global power relations (whether these be entitled hegemonic, imperialist, capitalist, globalised or otherwise) depend not only on military, economic, social and cultural power, but also and obviously on the power of the human body itself. This argument builds on the author’s own theory of global power, which combines a Foucaultian with a structurationist approach to argue for the existence of three-faced power relationships across twelve interdependent sites of power: i) the site of time; ii) the site of space; iii) the site of knowledge and aesthetics; iv) the site of morality and emotion; v) the site of identities; vi) the site of the body; vii) the site of welfare; viii) the site of culture/cultural life; ix) the site of civic associations; x) the site of the economy; xi) the site of the organisation of violence and coercive relations; and xii) the site of regulatory and legal institutions. Due to the interdependency of all of these sites, it is thus argued that HIV/AIDS not only has a detrimental effect on the power of the human body, but also on the power of all the other sites as well, thereby constituting an important but oft ignored power relationship both within world politics, as well as within the academic world of ‘International Relations’ itself.
