| Summary: |
Biodiversity is a profoundly political issue.
Why is access and exchange of genetic
resources so important and how does it
relate to the controversies about intellectual property and those related to the
international environmental and commercial
treaties? The answer to these questions
highlights a set of rules, international
interrelations and new actors that determine
the �international policies of access
to genetic resources�. The Convention on
Biological Diversity (CBD) establishes that
biological diversity is subject to national
sovereignty. Will access to biodiversity and
benefit-sharing be determined by a multitateral
system or bilateral agreements? |
