summary
“Access to Knowledge” project has undertaken research and supported initiatives at the domestic and multilateral levels aiming at promoting access to knowledge as a tool for development. The main project activities have been twofold: (1)policy-oriented research in the areas of IP law, knowledge governance and media convergence, and (2) technical assistance and capacity-building activities provided to developing country representatives to various multilateral institutions, including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the World Trade Organization. This book addresses the debate on access to knowledge in three parts.
It is hoped that the analysis, conclusions and recommendations presented in this book will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges to access to knowledge and of how to frame development-oriented policies to address them. The book is intended to reach a broad set of readers: it provides guidelines for developing countries’ governments in participating in multilateral and bilateral negotiations as well as to design national IP regimes consistent with those countries’ development objectives. It may also be of value to scholars, teachers, and students whose interests cover such areas as law, economics, political economy, diplomacy, international relations and other social science fields.
