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. Contributors: L.
