      abstract = {In this thought-provoking analysis, the author takes three  examples of emerging markets (Brazil, India, and Nigeria)  and tells their stories of pharmaceutical patent  law-making. Adopting historiographical and socio-legal  approaches, focus is drawn to the role of history, social  networks and how relationships between a variety of actors  shape the framing of, and subsequently the responses to,  national implementation of international patent law. In  doing so, the book reveals why the experience of Nigeria -  a country active in opposing the inclusion of IP to the WTO  framework during the Uruguay Rounds - is so different from  that of Brazil and India. This book makes an original and  useful contribution to the further understanding of how  both states and non-state actors conceptualise, establish  and interpret pharmaceutical patents law, and its domestic  implications on medicines access, public health and  development. Patent Games in the Global South was awarded  the 2018 SIEL-Hart Prize in International Economic Law.},
