This book examines the development of the Spanish patent system in
the years 1826 to 1902, providing a fundamental reassessment of its
evolution in an international context. The Spanish case is
particularly interesting because of this country's location on the
so-called European periphery and also because of the centrality of
its colonial dimension. Pretel gauges the political regulation and
organisation of the system, showing how it was established and how
it evolved following international patterns of technological
globalisation and the emergence of the 'international patent
system' during the late nineteenth century. Crucially, he
highlights the construction and evolution of the patent system in
response to the needs of Spain's technologically dependent economy.
The degree of industrial backwardness in mid-nineteenth-century
Spain set the stage for the institutionalisation of its modern
patent system. This institutionalisation process also entailed the
introduction of a new technological culture, social infrastructure
and narrative that supported intellectual property rights. This
book is important reading to all those interested in the history of
patents and their role in globalisation.
This book examines the role of experts and expertise in the
dynamics of globalisation since the mid-nineteenth century. It
shows how engineers, scientists and other experts have acted as
globalising agents, providing many of the materials and
institutional means for world economic and technical integration.
Focusing on the study of international connections, Technology and
Globalisation illustrates how expert practices have shaped the
political economies of interacting countries, entire regions and
the world economy. This title brings together a range of approaches
and topics across different regions, transcending
nationally-bounded historical narratives. Each chapter deals with a
particular topic that places expert networks at the centre of the
history of globalisation. The contributors concentrate on central
themes including intellectual property rights, technology transfer,
tropical science, energy production, large technological projects,
technical standards and colonial infrastructures. Many also
consider methodological, theoretical and conceptual issues.
