Summary: Brilliant study of the politics of intellectual property
Comment: This is a very important and highly topical book, which shows in an accessible and persuasive manner how big business has played a decisive role in guiding the international regulation of intellectual property protection. It should be read not only by scholars and students of international politics, but by all those interested in how intellectual property relates to and impacts on international trade, the global expansion of the US entertainment, software and drug industries, and also the health needs of people in developing countries including those suffering from HIV/AIDS.
One of the book's strengths is that it is very well researched, being based on interviews with many of the key players. Another is that the author lets the facts speak for themselves rather than rams home a particular point of view. Nonetheless, the book is bound to make the reader feel indignant in the way that the global intellectual property regime seems to favour the interests of the rich and powerful over those of the poor and powerless.
In short, the book is now the definitive guide to the politics of TRIPS, and I recommend it highly.

Summary: politics of TRIPS
Comment: This book provides a fascinating perspective on the politics underlying the TRIPS Agreement. It demonstrates the unique power that strong, well financed interest groups possess when legislative obligations are made at the international level. Anyone working specifically on international intellectual property issues would do well to read this book.
Rating: 1
Summary: Two pages of content packed into just 188 pages!
Comment: There must be some value to this thesis, but I haven't found it. A two page summary of TRIPS would have sufficed.
