In so doing, a solution can be crafted which will provide protection for traditional knowledge in a manner that is respectful of indigenous and local peoples' cultural identities. Ultimately, this type of solution will create a strong foundation upon which enduring indigenous political empowerment can be achieved.' -- Graham Reynolds, Alberta Law Review Supplement 'International Law and Indigenous Knowledge by Chidi Oguamanam is a valuable contribution to the ongoing discussion over preservation of the integrity of traditional knowledge and Indigenous ways of knowing. The author provides solid scaffolds to navigate the complex negotiations and intersections between international law and Indigenous property rights in evolving, diverse contexts.' -- Thom Alcoze, Canadian Journal of Native Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface     Abbreviations    PART ONE: General Introduction and Overview       * Introduction    * Knowledge: The New Frontier of the  Indigenous Question    * Intellectual Property and the Search  for Equity    * TKPT and Socio-Cultural Imperative    * Traditional and Western Scientific  Knowledge Systems    * Science as a Site of Contest    * Indigenous\/Traditional Knowledge    * Traditional Knowledge of Plant-Based  Therapy (TKPT)    * Applicability of IPRs to Traditional  Knowledge    * Chapter Synopsis     PART TWO: Introduction on Biodiversity, Traditional  Knowledge and Intellectual Property and the Protection of Indigenous Peoples in  International Law        * Introduction    * Biodiversity    * Traditional\/Indigenous Knowledge  Systems    * Intellectual Property Rights    * International Law Relating to  Indigenous Peoples     PART THREE: International Law and Traditional Knowledge of Plant-based Therapy  (TKPT)       * Introduction    * Indigenous Knowledge as Part of  International Law on Indigenous Peoples    * The Protection of Traditional  Therapeutic Knowledge    * Traditional Therapeutic Knowledge under  the WHO    * State Practices and Traditional  Medicine    * Summary     PART FOUR: The Socio-Cultural Context of Traditional  Knowledge of Plant-based Therapy (TKPT)       * Introduction    * Traditional Therapy and Western  Biomedicine: The Paradigmatic Divergence    * The Central Role of Plants in  Traditional Therapy    * Traditional Therapeutic Systems: Beyond  Active Substances    * The Performing of Healing    * Multivalence of Traditional Therapeutic  Methods    * The Scientific Question and Situational  Logic    * Summary     PART FIVE: Intellectual Property and Traditional Knowledge  of Plant-based Thearpy       * Introduction    * Intellectual Property Rights in the  Context of Traditional Medicine    * The Intellectual Property Debate    * Patients and TKPT: Investigating the  Tradeoffs    * Tests of Patentability and Product of  Nature Rhetoric    * The Case for Patentability of TKPT    * Beyond Patenting: Folkloric Protection  for TKPT    * Intellectual Property at the Periphery:  Geographical Indications    * Patenting TKPT: Some Reflections     PART SIX: Towards a Cross-Cultural Dialogue on Intellectual  Property Rights       * Introduction    * Appraising the Discussion    * Indigenous Knowledge: Economic Reward  vs Cultural Identity    * Indigenous Knowledge: Legal Empowerment  From Within    * The CBD and WIPO: Embracing the  Cross-cultural Dialogue    * Knowledge Protection Outside the Regime  of Conventional Intellectual Property Rights    * The Cross-cultural Approach as a  Framework","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49408349765975,"sku":"9781442612181","price":29.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781442612181.jpg?v=1730502548","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/international-law-and-indigenous-knowledge-9781442612181","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
