examines how we can promote the role of indigenous peoples and
local communities as environmental stewards and how we can ensure
that their ways of life are protected. considers the lessons that
can be learnt about the situation of indigenous peoples and local
communities. investigates the nature and role of community
protocols beyond issues of access to genetic resources and
traditional knowledge

The joint challenges of population increase, food security and
conservation of agrobiodiversity demand a rethink of plant breeding
and agricultural research from a different perspective. While more
food is undeniably needed, the key question is rather about how to
produce it in a way that sustains biological diversity and
mitigates climate change. This book shows how social sciences, and
more especially law, can contribute towards reconfiguring current
legal frameworks in order to achieving a better balance between the
necessary requirements of agricultural innovation and the need for
protection of agrobiodiversity. On the assumption that the concept
of property can be rethought against the background of the 'right
to include', so as to endow others with a common 'right to access'
genetic resources, several international instruments and
contractual arrangements drawn from the plant-breeding field
(including the Convention on Biological Diversity, technology
exchange clearing houses and open sources licenses) receive special
consideration. In addition, the authors explore the tension between
ownership and the free circulation and exchange of germplasm and
issues such as genetic resources managed by local and indigenous
communities, the ITPGRFA and participatory plant-breeding
programmes. As a whole, the book demonstrates the relevance of the
'Commons' for plant breeding and agricultural innovation.
Bringing together leading academics hailing from different cultural
and scholarly horizons, this book revisits legal hermeneutics by
making particular reference to philosophy, sociology and
linguistics. On the assumption that theory has much to teach law,
that theory motivates and enables, the writings of such
intellectuals as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Jacques
Derrida, Paul Ricoeur, Giorgio Agamben, Jurgen Habermas, Ronald
Dworkin and Ludwig Wittgenstein receive special consideration. As
it explores the matter of reading the law and as it inquires into
the emergence of meaning within the dynamic between reader and text
against the background of the reader's worldly finiteness, this
collection of essays wishes to contribute to an improved
appreciation of the merits and limits of law's hermeneutics which,
it argues, is emphatically not to be reduced to a simple tool for
textual exegesis.
