Examines the international agreements governing trade in genetic resources - crucial resources for world agriculture, food security and large industries such as pharmaceuticals. This book analyzes the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), World Trade Organization agreements and other agreements.

Describes the relevant international intellectual property rights (IPR) laws, highlights the extent to which modern commerce depends on such resources, and traces the way in which modern IPR law has evolved to accommodate this dependence. This title focuses on traditional knowledge, its nature, and the applicability of IPR-style protection.
