Global Health Law and Policy
"Globalization has unleashed new health threats, connecting societies in shared vulnerability to common challenges, including infectious disease, non-communicable disease, environmental pollution, injuries, and inequitable poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has made clear the cataclysmic health threats of a rapidly globalizing world and the limitations of domestic law and policy in addressing economic, social, and political determinants of health. No country acting on its own can stem major health hazards that go well beyond national borders. Where national laws cannot reach threats beyond national borders, global law is necessary to promote health and justice. If globalization has presented global challenges to disease prevention and health promotion, global health law offers the promise of bridging national boundaries to promote health and reduce health inequities"--
Balancing Wealth and Health
This book focusses on the debates concerning aspects of intellectual property law that bear on access to medicines in a set of developing countries. Specifically, the contributors look at measures that regulate the acquisition, recognition, and use of patent rights on pharmaceuticals and trade secrets in data concerning them, along with the conditions under which these rights expire so as to permit the production of cheaper generic drugs. In addition, the book includes commentary from scholars in human rights, international institutions, and transnational activism. The case studies presented from 11 Latin American countries, have many commonalities in terms of economics, legal systems, and p...
The Global Health Crisis
Proposing a new view of global justice based on natural law, this book examines the ethics of health as they relate to neglected diseases.
Questões de Direito internacional
Atualmente, o Direito Internacional passa por importantes transformações no Brasil. Tais transformações resultam, em grande medida, dos esforços desenvolvidos pela doutrina na tentativa de dotar o Direito brasileiro de uma mais ampla, completa e especializada explicação dos fenômenos que influenciam o cotidiano de todos. Tradicionalmente o papel reservado ao Direito internacional sempre foi pouco destacado dentro das grades universitárias. Durante anos as disciplinas eram desenvolvidas mais na tentativa de explicar opções politicas brasileiras que em dotar o acadêmico de Direito de ferramentas úteis e críticas capazes de transformar a realidade do Direito nacional. Some-se a is...
Empresas, Direitos Humanos e Gêneros
Trata-se de um estudo pioneiro e inovador, que tem o especial mérito de lançar luzes em duas temáticas complexas, contemporâneas e desafiadoras para a agenda contemporânea de direitos humanos: de um lado, a necessária responsabilidade das transnacionais no campo dos direitos humanos por outro, a urgência de incorporar a perspectiva de gênero com o empoderamento das mulheres nas empresas transnacionais.
Coalitions and Compliance
Coalitions and Compliance examines how international changes can reconfigure domestic politics. Since the late 1980s, developing countries have been subject to intense pressures regarding intellectual property rights. These pressures have been exceptionally controversial in the area of pharmaceuticals. Historically, fearing the economic and social costs of providing private property rights over knowledge, developing countries did not allow drugs to be patented. Now they must do so, an obligation with significant implications for industrial development and public health. This book analyses different forms of compliance with this new imperative in Latin America, comparing the politics of pharm...
Patent and Trade Disparities in Developing Countries
In Patent and Trade Disparities in Developing Countries, Srividhya Ragavan examines the interaction between trade and intellectual property regimes (using the patent regime in India as the focal point) in an integrated developmental framework to determine how sustainable economic growth can be achieved in developing countries.
Entre la salud y las patentes: la disputa por la propiedad intelectual y el acceso a los medicamentos en América Latina
La aparición de una "economía del conocimiento global" —muy dependiente de la innovación— ha situado la regulación de la propiedad intelectual en el centro de los debates académicos y sobre políticas públicas. Desde la perspectiva de las relaciones internacionales y del comercio, la importancia del tema es manifiesta cuando se observa la reciente avalancha de negociaciones multilaterales y bilaterales en las que invariablemente se discuten los límites hasta dónde debe llegar la protección de la propiedad intelectual (Stiglitz 2007). Desde el punto de vista jurídico, la gobernanza del conocimiento constituye uno de los pocos campos en los que el sistema multinacional se ha establecido con firmeza. Los convenios de la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (ompi) —estos son el Convenio de París, que cubre patentes y marcas, y el Convenio de Berna, sobre derechos de autor— han existido desde finales del siglo xix1 . Y en 1995, la Organización Mundial de Comercio (omc) añadió el Acuerdo sobre Aspectos de la Propiedad Intelectual relacionados con el Comercio (adpic) a su lista de instrumentos obligatorios.
Access to Knowledge in Brazil
"Brazil is one of the world's most productive crucibles for new ideas and practices in innovation and collaboration. This meticulously researched book provides a sweeping tour of the issues arising form that leadership." Jonathan Zittrain - Professor, Harvard Law School "As policy makers around the world grapple with how to configure their intellectual property policies to promote innovation and economic growth, as well as public access to the fruits of intellectual labour, they would do themselves a huge favour by reading Lea Shaver's excellent book." Pam Samuelson, Professor Univeristy of California, Berkeley "This is essential reading for anyone who cares about one of the most important h...
