Addressing the management of genetic resources, this book offers a
new assessment of the contemporary Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS)
regime. Debates about ABS have moved on. The initial focus on the
legal obligations established by international agreements like the
United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity and the form of
obligations for collecting physical biological materials have now
shifted into a far more complex series of disputes and challenges
about the ways ABS should be implemented and enforced. These now
cover a wide range of issues, including: digital sequence
information, the repatriation of resources, technology transfer,
traditional knowledge and cultural expressions, open access to
information and knowledge, naming conventions, farmers' rights, new
schemes for accessing pandemic viruses sharing DNA sequences, and
so on. Drawing together perspectives from an interdisciplinary
range of leading and emerging international scholars, this book
offers a new approach to the ABS landscape; as it breaks from the
standard regulatory analyses in order to explore alternative
solutions to the intractable issues for the Access and Benefit
Sharing of genetic resources. Addressing these modern legal debates
from a perspective that will appeal to both ABS scholars and those
with broader legal concerns in the areas of intellectual property,
food, governance, Indigenous issues, and so on, this book will be a
useful resource for scholars and students as well as those in
government and in international institutions working in relevant
areas.
