This book examines the social impact of intellectual property laws. It addresses issues and trends relating to health, food security, education, new technologies, preservation of bio-cultural heritage, and contemporary challenges in promoting the arts. It explores how intellectual property frameworks could be better calibrated to meet socioeconomic needs in countries at different stages of development, with local contexts and culture in mind. Scenarios for the future are discussed. A resource for policy-makers, stakeholders, non-profits, and students, this volume furthermore highlights alternative modes of innovation that are emerging to address such diverse challenges as neglected or resurgent diseases in developing countries and the harnessing of creative possibilities on the Internet. The collected essays emphasize not only fair access by individuals and communities to intellectual property - protected material, whether a cure, a crop variety, clean technology, a textbook, or a tune - but also the enhancement of their own capabilities in cultural participation and innovation.

'The wide range of policy issues and disciplinary approaches discussed in this impressive volume offers a rich and varied narrative on the challenges that lie ahead in integrating the many imperatives and concerns of human development into intellectual property law and policy-making initiatives in the future.' Duncan Matthews, Journal of Human Development and Capabilities
