In Globalising Intellectual Property Rights, Matthews looks at
various aspects of the TRIPS Agreement: agenda-setting, legal
interpretation, implementation, enforcement and revision - from the
viewpoint of global business interests and developing countries. It
is argued that the Agreement was largely the result of an
initiative by multinational companies who sought to protect their
own intellectual property through international law, and,
furthermore, that it is these multinational companies who are now
its main guardians. The book concludes that the history of the
TRIPS Agreement and the role of business is a clear example of
governance by non-state actors on a global scale.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers in the
fields of international relations, intellectual property law,
international economic law and development studies.
