This book explores the changing nature of international law and its
ability to respond to the contemporary issues related to
international environment, trade and information technology. The
evolution of international law has reached a stage where we are
witnessing diminishing power of the state and its capacity to deal
with the economic matters challenging the existing notions of
territory and sovereignty. Recent trends in international law and
international relations show that states no longer have exclusive
control over the decision-making process at the global level.
Keeping this in mind, the book brings together the perspectives of
various international and national scholars. The book considers
diverse issues such as, sustainable development, climate change,
global warming, Rio+20, technology transfer, agro-biodiversity and
genetic resource, authority for protection of environment, human
right to water, globalization, human rights, sui generis options in
IP laws, impact of liberalization on higher education, regulation
of international trade, intellectual property rights, collective
administration of copyright, broadcast reproduction rights,
implementation of copyright law, communication rights under
copyright law, arbitration for IP disputes, doctrine of exhaustion
of rights, trans-border reputation of trademark, information as an
asset, cyber obscenity and pornography, e-governance, taxation of
e-commerce, computer crime, information technology, domain names,
research excellence in legal education, ideological perspective on
legal education, challenges for law teachers, and clinical legal
education. The topics, though diverse, are closely interrelated,
with the common concern throughout being that the global
environment, international trade, information technology and legal
education need appropriate national normative and institutional
responses as well as the global cooperation of members of the
international community. Presenting reflections of a number of
Asian, African and European scholars on these varied facets, the
book is of great value to scholars, practitioners, teachers and
students associated with contemporary international law.
