书目名称 | Monsanto and Intellectual Property in South America | 编辑 | Felipe Amin Filomeno | 视频video | | 丛书名称 | International Political Economy Series | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Intellectual property is one of the most valuable forms of property in the modern world. From the perspective of companies producing knowledge-intensive goods, it encourages technological innovations for the benefit of humanity. For consumers of technology, it can be seen as a restriction on access to knowledge that inflates corporate rents. When genetic material crucial for human life is isolated from the commons, engineered and turned into private intellectual property, dissent is likely to emerge. Felipe Filomeno uses the case of Monsanto in South American soybean agriculture to theorize about the emergence and change of intellectual property regimes. Based on official documents, interviews, journalistic material, and academic literature, the study shows not only the relations of competition, coercion, and alliances that lie behind the post-1980 global upward ratchet of intellectual property protection but also the strategies that have the potential to reverse it. | 出版日期 | Book 2014 | 关键词 | culture; development; intellectual property; property; latin american politics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1057/9781137356697 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-349-47058-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-137-35669-7Series ISSN 2662-2483 Series E-ISSN 2662-2491 | issn_series | 2662-2483 | copyright | Palgrave Macmillan, a division of Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014 |
