Using historical-materialist state and regulation theory, it assesses how the discourse and politics of sustainable development have contributed to the internationalisation of the state. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors argue that sustainable development, far from being a fixed concept, is a conceptual terrain on which different and conflicting symbolisations of and solutions responses to of the ecological crisis struggle for hegemony. Furthermore, it shows that the international multilateral environmental organisations agreements are not at all a means to counteract neoliberal globalisation but, on the contrary, form an integral part of the ongoing transformation process. Focussing on the UN Convention on Biological DiversityCBD, the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) in the World Trade Organisation, this co-authored volume addresses the following issues:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003estate theory, regulation theory and International Political Economy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003ebiodiversity protection and valorisation of genetic resources\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eaccess to genetic resources and sharing of benefits which arise out of its use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eenforcement of intellectual property rights and their impact on biodiversity.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, international political economy, environmental studies, development studies and political ecology. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUlrich Brand\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of International Politics at Vienna University, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChristoph Görg\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Senior Researcher at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ in Leipzig, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoachim Hirsch\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Social Sciences, University of Frankfurt, Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkus Wissen\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of the Institute for Political Science at Vienna University, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 June 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTaylor \u0026amp; Francis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRoutledge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780415586795\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e292\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.13\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63534549074060,"sku":"9780415586795","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780415586795","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
