Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am writing to announce the release of 'The
<http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780199550616> Implementation Game:
The TRIPS Agreement and the Global Politics of Intellectual Property Reform
in Developing Countries', published by Oxford University Press. The
Implementation Game is the first book-length study of the politics
surrounding the implementation of the WTO's Agreement on Trade Related
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). It seeks to explain the variation in
how developing countries have implemented the treaty, highlighting the
influence of global IP debates, international pressures, and political
dynamics within developing countries. In so doing, the book exposes how
power politics occur not just within global trade talks but afterward when
countries implement agreements. The Implementation Game will be of interest
to all those engaged in debates on the global governance of trade and
intellectual property, and the challenges facing developing countries in the
global economy.
The book is available through bookshops, Amazon, or direct from Oxford
University Press - UK at: http://www.oup.com/uk/catalogue/?ci=9780199550616.
It is now also available directly from OUP - U.S. at
