This book is the English version of the text published by the
Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean in April
2008 and entitled Generacion y proteccion del conocimiento:
propiedad intelectual, innovacion y desarrollo 1 economico. Since
then, the year that has passed has been fraught with uncertainty
but has also brought signs of hope. Indeed, the past year was
marked by the outbreak of the deepest and most p- vasive nancial
and economic crisis since the Great Depression of 1929, a crisis
generated in the United States but whose negative repercussions
have spread at a phenomenal rate throughout the planet. The impact
of this crisis on the p- ples of Latin America and the Caribbean
will undermine the region's prospects for economic growth,
employment, and poverty alleviation. This was the year in which
United States citizens elected Barack Obama as their President, a
clear sign of new hope. This hope was tangible at the Fifth Summit
of the Americas, held in 2009 in Port of Spain, which marked a
turning point in the relations between the countries that make up
this hemisphere. The open posture of the United States and that
country's readiness to listen rather than to impose any particular
position and its willingness to engage in dialogue on an equal
footing were positive signs. Moreover, it was generally admitted
that there is not just one model for advancing successfully toward
development.
