Verlag: Oxford University Press
Taking an international and comparative approach, the book sets out the theory and practice with reference to key decisions, legislative responses, international discussions and resolutions, and other important documents. As well as primary materials (international and national), the coverage includes related influential materials from various stake-holders including industry groups, non-governmental organisations, and indigenous groups, all of which continue to inform the practical context in
which these legal developments occur and are applied.
Traditional knowledge is of interest to a broad range of disciplines and hence this book, for the first time, provides the reader with a book compatible to their needs. As it is emerging as a new and important practice area, this timely work fills a gap in the current existing literature.
Zielgruppe
This book is aimed primarily at practitioners and academics specialising in intellectual property and cultural heritage, but will also appeal to postgraduate students (particularly students of law, but also students of international relations, development studies and politics), and legal advisers and policy makers in government and non-governmental organisations.
