This book examines the global regulation of biodiversity
politics through the UN UNConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD),
the WTO and other international treaties. Using
historical-materialist state and regulation theory, it assesses how
the discourse and politics of sustainable development have
contributed to the internationalisation of the state.
The authors argue that sustainable development, far from being a
fixed concept, is a conceptual terrain on which different and
conflicting symbolisations of and solutions responses to of the
ecological crisis struggle for hegemony. Furthermore, it shows that
the international multilateral environmental organisations
agreements are not at all a means to counteract neoliberal
globalisation but, on the contrary, form an integral part of the
ongoing transformation process. Focussing on the UN Convention on
Biological DiversityCBD, the FAO International Treaty on Plant
Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Agreement on
Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in
the World Trade Organisation, this co-authored volume addresses the
following issues:
- state theory, regulation theory and International Political
Economy
- biodiversity protection and valorisation of genetic
resources
- access to genetic resources and sharing of benefits which arise
out of its use
- enforcement of intellectual property rights and their impact on
biodiversity.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of
international politics, international political economy,
environmental studies, development studies and political
ecology.
