TRIPS and Developing Countries - Towards a New IP World Order? (Hardcover)

TRIPS reflects the dominant view that enforcing strong intellectual property rights is necessary to solve problems of trade and development. The global ensemble of authors in this collection ask, how can TRIPS mature further into an institution that supports a view of economic development which incorporates the human rights ethic already at work in the multilateralist geopolitics driving international relations? In particular, how can these human rights, seen as encompassing a whole 'new' set of collective interests such as public health, environment, and nutrition, provide a pragmatic ethic for shaping development policy? Some chapters address these questions by describing recent successes, while others propose projects in which these human rights can provide ethical ground for influencing the forces at play in development policies.This stimulating book will strongly appeal to policy makers, academics, and students seeking to understand how the 'new' human rights can inform efforts to reconfigure intellectual property rights as an engine for fair and just economic development.
