      abstract = {This up-to-date book examines pharmaceutical development,  access to medicines, and the protection of public health in  the context of two fundamental changes that the global  political economy has undergone since the 1970s, the  globalization of trade and production and the increased  harmonization of national regulations on intellectual  property rights.  With authors from eleven different  countries presenting case studies of national experiences  in Africa, Asia and the Americas, the book analyzes  national strategies to promote pharmaceutical innovation,  while at the same time assuring widespread access to  medicines through generic pharmaceutical production and  generic pharmaceutical importation. The expert chapters  focus on patents as well as an array of regulatory  instruments, including pricing and drug registration  policies.  Presenting in-depth analysis and original  empirical research, this book will strongly appeal to  academics and students of intellectual property,  international health, international political economy,  international development and law.},
