Private Power, Public Law: The Globalization of Intellectual Property RightsCambridge University Press, 2003 - 218 páginas Susan Sell's book shows how power in international politics in increasingly exercised by private interests rather than governments. In 1994 the WTO adopted the Agreement in Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which dictated to states how they should regulate the protection of intellectual property. This book argues that TRIPS resulted from lobbying by powerful multinational corporations who wished to mould international law to protect their markets. It is a fascinating study of the influence of private interests in government decision-making, and in the shaping of the global economy. |
