      abstract = {TRIPS reflects the dominant view that enforcing strong  intellectual property rights is necessary to solve problems  of trade and development. The global ensemble of authors in  this collection ask, how can TRIPS mature further into an  institution that supports a view of economic development  which incorporates the human rights ethic already at work  in the multilateralist geopolitics driving international  relations? In particular, how can these human rights, seen  as encompassing a whole ‘new’ set of collective interests  such as public health, environment, and nutrition, provide  a pragmatic ethic for shaping development policy? Some  chapters address these questions by describing recent  successes, while others propose projects in which these  human rights can provide ethical ground for influencing the  forces at play in development policies.  This stimulating  book will strongly appeal to policy makers, academics, and  students seeking to understand how the ‘new’ human rights  can inform efforts to reconfigure intellectual property  rights as an engine for fair and just economic  development.},
