Over the course of the twentieth-century, democracies demonstrated an uncanny ability to win wars when their survival was at stake. As this book makes clear, this success cannot be explained merely by superior military equipment or a particular geographical advantage. Instead, it is argued that the legal frameworks imbedded in democratic societies offered them a fundamental advantage over their more politically restricted rivals.

With intellectual property widely acknowledged today as a key component of economic development, those accused of stealing knowledge and information are also charged with undermining industrial innovation, artistic creativity, and the availability of information itself. How valid are these claims? Has the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) Agreement ushered in a new, better era? Christopher May and Susan Sell trace the history of social conflict and political machinations surrounding the making of property out of knowledge. Ranging from ancient commerce in Greek poems to present-day controversies about online piracy and the availability of AIDS drugs in the poorest countries, May and Sell present intellectual property law as a continuing process in which particular conceptions of rights and duties are institutionalized; each settlement prompts new disputes, policy shifts, and new disputes again. They also examine the post-TRIPs era in the context of this process. Their account of two thousand years of technological advances, legal innovation, and philosophical arguments about the character of knowledge production suggests that the future of intellectual property law will be as contested as its past.

En ces jours où les droits de l’homme sont projetés à l’avant-scène des relations internationales, l’étude d’Agnès Dormenval s’attaque à un problème d’une actualité pratique brûlante, à savoir la possibilité de coordonner et de rationaliser les diverses procédures onusiennes qui ont proliféré en la matière au gré des circonstances et des occasions. Tout en présentant ces diverses procédures, en les classifiant et en les analysant, l’auteur explique leur multiplication et leur évolution par le dynanisme institutionnel ou organique qui profite, d’une part, de toute conjoncture favorable et, d’autre part, de l’évolution du droit international dans le sens de l’abaissement de certains obstacles ou de la création de nouvelles possibilités d’action. Il n’empêche que cette action, ou plutôt cet ensemble d’actions et de procédures comporte des limitations et des carences nombreuses. L’auteur opère une distinction entre celles inhérentes au système international en général, et plus particulièrement au système onusien, et d’autres, largement issues du développement cahotique des procédures, qui lui paraissent remédiables. Elle examine les solutions ou améliorations envisagées dans les enceintes onusiennes, et en propose d’autres, qui pourraient l’être. Nous devons savoir gré à l’auteur de nous avoir apporté une critique constructive d’un domaine très mouvant en se situant sur un plan technique sans négliger pour autant les réalités politiques et sociales qui l’environnent.
