Toward a Cross-cultural Dialogue on Intellectual Property Rights -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexIn the past, efforts to reconcile the western concept of intellectual property with indigenous knowledge have not taken into account the schism between this knowledge and western scientific forms. As knowledge assumes increasing importance in the quest for self-determination, cultural survival, and economic empowerment, the gulf between indigenous and western scientific knowledge assumes a new meaning. In International Law and Indigenous Knowledge, Chidi Oguamanam argues that the crisis of legitimacy indigenous knowledge poses for the intellectual property system compels a re-thinking of the concept of intellectual property itself. Drawing on interdisciplinary research,International Law and Indigenous Knowledge takes as its framework the legal doctrinal methodology, focusing on international legal and policy developments regarding the protection of indigenous knowledge. Using traditional medicine and biodiversity to illustrate his thesis, Oguamanam argues that recent international legal and policy developments in the direction of a cross-cultural approach to intellectual property rights are desirable trends. Such developments come closer to addressing the rift between western and non-western knowledge systems as well as the crisis of legitimacy in the conventional intellectual property system.Intellectual property (International law)Traditional ecological knowledgeLaw and legislationIndigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etcIndigenous peoplesIntellectual lifeTraditional medicineEthnobotanyEthnopharmacologyElectronic books.Intellectual property (International law)Traditional ecological knowledgeLaw and legislation.Indigenous peoplesLegal status, laws, etc.Indigenous peoplesIntellectual life.Traditional medicine.Ethnobotany.Ethnopharmacology.346.04/8Oguamanam Chidi1965-502756MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455470703321International law and indigenous knowledge710656UNINA
