Title
The Global Governance of Genetic Resources: Institutional Change and Structural Constraints (Global Environmental Governance),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Multiinstitutional governance architectures are increasingly common in world politics, yet how do they evolve over time? This book develops a fresh conceptual approach by distinguishing two main types of institutional change and by proposing the strategic context within which governments make decisions regarding international cooperation as the main driving factor. Applying this theoretical framework to the case of genetic resources, it shows how the scope for change has persistently been circumscribed by asymmetries in the global biotechnology sector. Taking a broad view of the underlying technological, legal and economic factors, the book analyzes the formation of international regimes linking access to genetic resources to the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of their utilization. Covering negotiations in the areas of seeds, intellectual property rights, pandemic influenza viruses and marine genetic resources, the author shows how governments have persistently faced the problem of ensuring cooperation among actors with widely differing interests. This led them to opt for a strategy of institutional layering, whereby new international instruments are gradually built upon preexisting ones. In addition to giving a comprehensive overview of the international governance of Access and Benefitsharing within the wider context of modern biotechnology, the argument developed here enables a new perspective for studying institutional change in multiinstitutional governance architectures.
