Integral to this is compliance with legal regimes often not of their own making. Among these are laws relating to intellectual property, which are imposed both by bilateral and multilateral Free Trade Agreements and by discourses of development. Against the local, regional and international context, this book takes into account the importance of culture to indigenous societies, the social relevance of intellectual property and traditional knowledge, and national and regional strategies for encouraging innovation and creativity. Informed by a number of case studies, the book explores alternative models and approaches for creating an intellectual property framework that is geared towards meeting the particular needs of Pacific Island people in a rapidly changing world. The book focuses on fourteen Pacific Island countries but the issues raised and solutions proposed have resonance for all Small Island Developing States and also many least developed countries. 000027641 650_0 $$aLaw and economic development. 000027641 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000027641 650_4 $$aIntellectual property 000027641 650_4 $$aTechnological innovation 000027641 650_6 $$aPropriété intellectuelle$$xPolitique gouvernementale$$zPays en voie de développement. 000027641 7001_ $$aFarran, Susan,$$eauthor. 000027641 942__ $$2ddc$$cMON 000027641 952__ $$w2016-02-26$$p2016-0012$$u42157$$bMAIN$$10$$kF 619 FOR.W$$v2016-02-26$$zTagged$$70$$cLibrary 000027641 980__ $$aBIB 000027641 999__ $$c30087$$d30087
