This study primarily explores whether conflicts between patents and
human rights in the context of access to medicines are inevitable,
or whether patents can be made to serve human rights. The author
argues that it is necessary to have a deepened understanding of
each of the two sets of norms that govern this issue, that is,
patent law and international human rights law. The chapters
investigate the relevant dimensions of patent law and analyse
particular human rights bearing upon the issue of intellectual
property and access to medicines.
This book represents the manifestation of a new presentation of old
perspectives within the discipline of criminal justice. It contains
practical considerations of rendering such decisions, it is
expected to be an appropriate reference among practitioner
personnel.
This book examines the relationship between intellectual property
in pharmaceuticals and access to medicines from a human rights
perspective, with a view to contributing to the development of a
human rights framework that can guide States in enacting and
implementing intellectual property law and policy. The study
primarily explores whether conflicts between patents and human
rights in the context of access to medicines are inevitable, or
whether patents can be made to serve human rights. What could be a
normative framework that human rights might provide for patents and
innovation? Joo-Young Lee argues that it is necessary to have a
deepened understanding of each of the two sets of norms that govern
this issue, that is, patent law and international human rights law.
The chapters investigate the relevant dimensions of patent law, and
analyse particular human rights bearing upon the issue of
intellectual property and access to medicines. This study will be
of great interest to academic specialists, practitioners or
professionals in the fields of human rights, trade, and
intellectual property, as well as policy makers, activists, and
health professionals across the world working in intellectual
property and human rights.

This book traces the development of U.S-led global nuclear
non-proliferation diplomacy during the three decades since the
Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” in 1953. The U.S.
non-proliferation efforts had diverse obstacles. It had to prevent
nuclear states’ export of nuclear technology while dissuading
non-nuclear states from developing nuclear weapons. In addition,
building non-proliferation regime was not always its top foreign
policy priority. To understand the complex process of
non-proliferation, the book examines the relations among three
different actors in the nuclear field: a global non-proliferation
regime builder (U.S.), a potential nuclear proliferator (France)
and a would-be nuclear state (Republic of Korea). In tracing how
they developed nuclear strategies, conflicting and compromising
with one another, the book pays special attention to how the
transforming Cold War structure in the 1970s not only affected
foreign policies of the involved countries but also complicated
their relationship. The exploration ultimately highlights the
multidimensional nature of international discussion on nuclear
non-proliferation as the ROK’s nuclear development attempts, U.S.
non-proliferation efforts, and the U.S.-France nuclear technology
cooperation in the 1970s were all deeply connected.
Dr. Dre. Snoop Dogg. Ice Cube. Some of the biggest stars in hip hop
made their careers in Los Angeles. And today there is a new
generation of young, mostly black, men busting out rhymes and
hoping to one day find themselves "blowin' up"--getting signed to a
record label and becoming famous. Many of these aspiring rappers
get their start in Leimart Park, home to the legendary hip hop
open-mic workshop Project Blowed. In Blowin' Up, Jooyoung Lee takes
us deep inside Project Blowed and the surrounding music industry,
offering an unparalleled look at hip hop in the making. While most
books on rap are written from the perspective of listeners and the
market, Blowin' Up looks specifically at the creative side of
rappers. As Lee shows, learning how to rap involves a great deal of
discipline, and it takes practice to acquire the necessary skills
to put on a good show. Along with Lee--who is himself a
pop-locker--we watch as the rappers at Project Blowed learn the
basics, from how to hold a microphone to how to control their
breath amid all those words. And we meet rappers like E. Crimsin,
Nocando, VerBS, and Flawliss as they freestyle and battle with each
other. For the men at Project Blowed, hip hop offers a creative
alternative to the gang lifestyle, substituting verbal competition
for physical violence, and provides an outlet for setting goals and
working toward them. Engagingly descriptive and chock-full of
entertaining personalities and real-life vignettes, Blowin' Up not
only delivers a behind-the-scenes view of the underground world of
hip hop, but also makes a strong case for supporting the creative
aspirations of young, urban, black men, who are often growing up in
the shadow of gang violence and dead-end jobs.

proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Information
Security and Cryptology, ICISC 2014, held in Seoul, South Korea in
