The fast-evolving relationship between the promotion of
welfare-enhancing competition and the balanced protection of
intellectual property (IP) rights has attracted the attention of
policymakers, analysts and scholars. This interest is inevitable in
an environment that lays ever greater emphasis on the management of
knowledge and innovation and on mechanisms to ensure that the
public derives the expected social and economic benefits from this
innovation and the spread of knowledge. This book looks at the
positive linkage between IP and competition in jurisdictions around
the world, surveying developments and policy issues from an
international and comparative perspective. It includes analysis of
key doctrinal and policy issues by leading academics and
practitioners from around the globe and a cutting-edge survey of
related developments across both developed and developing
economies. It also situates current policy developments at the
national level in the context of multilateral developments, at
WIPO, WTO and elsewhere.

Engaging Worlds: Core Texts and Cultural Contexts asks what do we
learn of texts, cultures, and the world's dynamics when we read
core texts, widely and deeply, in core-structured programs of the
world's colleges and universities? What books, what arts, what
associations and institutions, what sciences, what religions, what
cultures, what educations, what citizens, what scholars, are we
preparing for the future through an education in core texts that
engages our worlds? The answers offered in these selected
proceedings are drawn from the widest possible spectrum of
institutions and disciplines who, through core programs, offer
horizon-expanding liberal educations.
In this volume, the Association for Core Texts and Courses has
gathered essays of literary and philosophical accounts that explain
who we are simply as persons. Further, essays are included that
highlight the person as entwined with other persons and examine who
we are in light of communal ties. The essays reflect both the
Western experience of democracy and how community informs who we
are more generally. Our historical position in a modern or
post-modern, urbanized or disenchanted world is explored by yet
other papers. And, finally, ACTC educators model the intellectual
life for students and colleagues by showing how to read texts
carefully and with sophistication -- as an example of who we can
be.
Originally an important but relatively obscure plurilateral
instrument, the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement (GPA) is
now becoming a pillar of the WTO system as a result of important
developments since the Uruguay Round. This collection examines the
issues and challenges that this raises for the GPA, as well as
future prospects for addressing government procurement at a
multilateral level. Coverage includes issues relating to pending
accessions to the GPA, particularly those of developing countries
with a large state sector such as China; the revised (provisionally
agreed) GPA text of 2006, including provisions on electronic
procurement and Special and Differential Treatment for Developing
Countries; and procurement provisions in regional trade agreements
and their significance for the multilateral system. Attention is
also given to emerging issues, especially those concerning
environmental, social and SME policy; competition law; and the
implications of the recent economic crisis.
