This book offers empirical analyses of conflicts over the
ownership, control, and use of knowledge and information in
developed and developing countries. Sebastian Haunss and Kenneth C.
Shadlen, along with a collection of eminent contributors, focus on
how business organizations, farmers, social movements, legal
communities, state officials, transnational enterprises, and
international organizations shape IP policies in areas such as
health, information-communication technologies, indigenous
knowledge, genetic resources, and many others. The innovative and
original chapters examine conflicts over the rules governing
various dimensions of IP, including patents, copyrights,
traditional knowledge, and biosafety regulations. Written from a
political perspective, this book is a must-read for political
scientists, sociologists and anthropologists who study IP and
conflicts over property. It is also an essential read for
stakeholders in institutions, NGOs and industry interested in
knowledge governance and IP politics.
