Description
Intellectual Property, Human Rights and Development explores how Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) have influenced international debates about intellectual property rights and their impact on developing countries. Through extensive research in Geneva and developing countries, the book reveals how NGOs and social movements have used human rights law to address negative consequences of intellectual property rights. The author examines how coalitions of international NGOs have framed the issue as a human rights concern, emphasizing the need to protect access to medicines, food security, and the rights of indigenous peoples over their traditional knowledge. This approach has been successful in influencing national legislation and government policy. This book will appeal to academics, practitioners, activists, and students interested in intellectual property law, human rights law, international political economy, and development studies.
