Peter Brook is known internationally as a theatre visionary, and a
daring experimenter on the cutting-edge of performance and
production. This book concentrates on Brook's early years, and his
innovative achievements in opera, television, film, and the
theatre. His productions are viewed separately, in chronological
order, suggesting Brook's developing and changing interests. The
authors include thought-provoking interviews with Brook (and with
numerous outstanding artists who have worked with him) and bring to
the reader penetrating critiques of Brook's theories and practices
as a man of the theatre.
There is a growing body of scholarship analysing the many
international organizations, government agencies and civil society
groups whose activities define the relationship between human
rights and intellectual property. This timely and engaging volume
illustrates the richness and diversity of this literature. It
explores the wider historical and institutional context of these
topics; the meaning of key international instruments; writings that
clarify ambiguous legal norms; works that advocate the recognition
of new legal norms; institutional and strategic issues and critical
or cautionary perspectives. Including an original introduction by
Professor Helfer, a leading scholar in the field, this is a
must-have volume that will be of use to lawyers, judges, legal
scholars and researchers interested in the areas of intellectual
property and human rights and their intersection.

This book explores the interface between intellectual property and
human rights law and policy. The relationship between these two
fields has captured the attention of governments, policymakers, and
activist communities in a diverse array of international and
domestic political and judicial venues. These actors often raise
human rights arguments as counterweights to the expansion of
intellectual property in areas including freedom of expression,
public health, education, privacy, agriculture, and the rights of
indigenous peoples. At the same time, creators and owners of
intellectual property are asserting a human rights justification
for the expansion of legal protections. This book explores the
legal, institutional, and political implications of these competing
claims in three ways: (1) by offering a framework for exploring the
connections and divergences between these subjects; (2) by
identifying the pathways along which jurisprudence, policy, and
political discourse are likely to evolve; and (3) by serving as a
teaching and learning resource for scholars, activists, and
students.
This casebook provides a comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date
analysis of international human rights law. It emphasizes the
relationship between the international, regional, and national
legal systems (with a particular focus on the United States),
features an intellectual and historical development of the idea of
human rights, and analyzes recent developments in areas including
corporate responsibility, terrorism and human rights, the rights of
refugees, international criminal law, and the role of
nongovernmental organizations. The first edition has been
comprehensively revised and updated to address important and
hot-button issues and topics in international human rights law.
"The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for
Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print
Disabled" is a watershed development in the fields of intellectual
property and human rights. As the first international legal
instrument to establish mandatory exceptions to copyright, the
Marrakesh Treaty uses the legal and policy tools of copyright to
advance human rights. The World Blind Union Guide to the Marrakesh
Treaty offers a comprehensive framework for interpreting the Treaty
in ways that enhance the ability of print-disabled individuals to
create, read, and share books and cultural materials in accessible
formats. The Guide also provides specific recommendations to
government officials, policymakers, and disability rights
organizations involved with implementing the Treaty's provisions in
national law.
