Carolyn DeereThe Implementation Game: The TRIPS Agreement and the Global Politics of Intellectual Property Reform in Developing CountriesReprint EditionISBN-13: 9780199587476ISBN-10: 0199587477 With the launch of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in 1995, its Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) emerged as a symbol of coercion in international economic relations. In the decade that followed, intellectual property became one of the most contentious topics of global policy debate. The Implementation Game is the first full-length study of the politics surrounding what developing countries did to implement TRIPS and why. Based on a review of the evidence from 1995 to 2007, this book emphasizes that developing countries exhibited considerable variation in their approach to TRIPS implementation. In particular, developing countries took varying degrees of advantage of the legal safeguards and options-commonly known as TRIPS 'flexibilities'--that the Agreement provides. To explain this variation, The Implementation Game argues that TRIPS implementation must be understood as a complex political game played out among developing country governments and a range of stakeholders-developed countries, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), and industry groups. The contested nature of the TRIPS bargain spurred competing efforts to revise the terms of TRIPS and to influence global IP regulation more broadly. The intensity of the implementation game was amplified by an awareness among the various stakeholders that the IP reforms developing countries pursued would influence these ongoing international negotiations. The book attributes the variation in TRIPS implementation to the interplay between these global IP debates, international power pressures, and political dynamics within developing countries, and includes historical analysis, compilations of evidence, and analysis supported by examples from across the developing world. The Implementation Game will be of interest both to scholars of international relations, law, and international political economy as well as to policymakers, commentators, and activists engaged in debates on the global governance of intellectual property.—-REVIEW 10 out of 10!!! A must read for anyone studying, practicing, or just interested in the developing country context of TRIPS and IP in the WTO!!Reviewed in the United States on June 28A few years ago I began working with a trade think tank that covers a lot of the issues addressed in this book. I read countless publications, books, reports, and more on TRIPS and IP to try and get an understanding of the issue. Until I read The Implementation Game, I had never really understood the politics behind the agreement or why developing countries made the decisions that they had. The digestible nature of this book makes understanding this complex issue easier than anything I have read before. Plus, it's in-depth enough that i feel I finally have a thorough grasp on this issue, the history, and the consequences. A must read, hands down, for anyone studying, working, or just interested in TRIPS, IP, and the WTO.—-Book DescriptionThe first book-length study of the politics surrounding the implementation of the WTO's Agreement on Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights.—-About the AuthorDr. Carolyn Deere is the Director of the Global Trade Governance Project at the Global Economic Governance Programme, University College, Oxford University.
