Cultures of knowledge : investigating intellectual property rights and relations in the Pacific

Auteur :
PARRY, B.

Description :
The A. reveals the central role that global institutions now play in accelerating the universalisation of specific cultures for regulation : acting as powerful vectors for the transmission of particular types of knowledge and arbiters of the normative bases of global regulatory regimes. Recent empirical evidence from the Pacific illustrates how the TRIPs regime facilitates the commodification and appropriation of intellectual, cultural and biological resources in that region and highlights the development of alternative systems of intellectual property rights protection.
