Partial contents:
The central argument of this volume is that since access to knowledge in a knowledge economy is a passport to a better quality of life, then its fair distribution and universal availability ought to become a standard norm. Hence, given the primary role played by knowledge in the production and reproduction of societies, intellectual property rights need to be considered an essential aspect of human rights and not just another mechanism invoked by global corporations to protect their economic self-interest. The articles in this volume explore the contested nature of the ownership of and access to knowledge and support it with illustrative case studies from the Asian region.
