      abstract = {Governance of Genetic Resources maps out a landscape of  the international governance of genetic resources. It shows  what governance efforts currently exist, what is missing,  which areas are problematic, and outlines what the  international community should be aiming for in regard to  its future development and implementation.  The book begins  by exploring the historical development of international  genetic resources governance and considers why the area has  become so significant and complex. It goes on to analyse  the current situation and develop recommendations on what  governance efforts should be achieving for the future.   This timely study will be of interest to students and  academics concerned with the management of genetic  resources and its connection to issues such as intellectual  property rights, biodiversity conservation and food  security. It will appeal strongly to academic researchers  in the fields of international relations, international law  and global governance, environmental science, development  studies, and the biosciences. The book will also appeal to  policy-makers and practitioners, particularly those working  in or with international organisations involved in genetic  resources governance and to national decision makers  seeking information on the international context for  genetic resources management.},
