Summary
"The question of how genetic resources ought to be owned and controlled has become a highly contested international political issue. The authors challenge the dominant proprietarian ethic and adopt an intrumental approach which safeguards the autonomy of traditional communities and balances the sovereign rights of states with the wider interests of humanity as a whole. The book will be of interest to researchers in environmental politics, development studies and political theory as well as to practitioners and policy-makers around the world in governments, nongovernmental organizations and pressure groups."--Jacket.
