TY - GEN N2 - "This volume considers the political construction of intellectual property, and how it is linked to the economics of knowledge and information in the contemporary global political economy. A Global Political Economy of Intellectual Property Rights examines contemporary disputes about the ownership of knowledge resources - as in the cases of genetically modified foods, the music industry or the internet - and the problematic nature of the TRIPs agreement." "This book argues that there are solutions in the form of political moves to establish the social availability of information, and in reattaching property to the innovating individual. Christopher May reveals that, because of problems with the TRIPs agreement, at present the balance in international property rights between public good and private reward is, more often than not, weighted towards the latter."--Jacket.
