of the rationalization and bureaucratization process that has overtaken entire fields. This change occurs through isomorphic processes (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). Two of the more interesting of these
processes are coercive and normative (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). While normative isomorphism is naturally associated with professionalism, coercive isomorphism typically results with political influence and what DiMaggio and
Powell (1983) refer to as "the problem of legitimacy". The intent of this paper is to discuss how these impacts relate to WTO, IMF, and trade liberalization rules and
how national health care sector privatization relates to HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) disease in South Africa and Zimbabwe. HIV is the causative
organism in AIDS, Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease. There is no cure for AIDS and some insist that the disease has reached pandemic status (El-Asfahani and Girvan, 2009). Since its
discovery in 1981, AIDS has killed an estimated 25 million people (El-Asfahani and Girvan, 2009)! Because of continually increasing infection rates in many countries, the death toll is expected
to become even more precipitous in future years (El-Asfahani and Girvan, 2009). Between 1993 and 1997, for example, the number of infected individuals essentially quadrupled in South Africa and
Zimbabwe (El-Asfahani and Girvan, 2009). Today an estimated 25 percent of these populations is affected with HIV (El-Asfahani and Girvan, 2009). Although there is no cure for AIDS,
there are very helpful treatments that the people in these countries simply cannot afford. This situation has become very complex in recent years in particular with the changes that
have occurred in the health care systems. One of the primary changes that has occurred in South Africa and Zimbabwe
