New technologies are developing at a tremendous pace. They transform global political, economic, and social relations in ways that often present unique challenges to public policymakers who must plan for the future in a landscape subject to the constant changes of global technological integration.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) faces these challenges in the context of regulating world trade, particularly in implementing the agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (TRIPS). The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) must adapt to the challenges in regulating intellectual property rights and in promoting the development of technological infrastructure.
Governments and international organizations such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission are concerned with the impact of technological integration on global and regional competitive environments. The result: Numerous proposals for protecting the process of competition have emerged.
These proposals would consider the rapidly changing nature of the world economy, the key role played by technological integration, and potential concerns raised by the concentration of ownership of technology.
Public Policy and Global Technological Integration examines the relationship between the legal systems governing international trade, intellectual property rights, and international competition, and offers ideas about their future.
This book brings together some of the world's most respected authorities in the fields of trade, competition, and intellectual property regulation to reflect on the future of public policy in an era of global technological integration. Its authoritativeness and topicality make it a contribution of particular importance.
