Book excerpt: The principle of Access to Knowledge (A2K) has become a common reference point for a diverse set of agendas that all hope to realize technological and human potential by making knowledge more accessible. This book is a history of international copyright focused on principles of A2K and their proponents. Whilst debate and discussion so far has covered the perspectives of major western countries, the author's fresh approach to the topic considers emerging countries and NGOs, who have fought for the principles of A2K that are now fundamental to the system. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book connects copyright history to current problems, issues and events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many activists, scientists and academics, have grown increasingly concerned about the privatization of science and scientific research that has resulted from increasing globalization and commercialization. This chapter examines the history of the treatment of scientific works under the international copyright regime from 1886 to the present. An early victory for access to knowledge was achieved when Haiti, backed by Great Britain, guaranteed that certain copyright exceptions intended to encourage the free dissemination of scientific and medical works were included in the original Berne Convention. However, the general long-term path has tended to reduce these exceptions, limiting whatever initial influence Haiti's earlier victory had had. This chapter, published as Chapter 3 of my book International Copyright and Access to Knowledge (CUP 2016), examines these trends in light of current debates over open publishing of scientific and medical information.

This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the interface between copyright and higher education, and their complementarities for the advancement of sustainable human development. In its broader sense, the concept of human development is noted as a set of freedoms and human capabilities that are essential for human flourishing. Adopting a rights-based human development and capability approach (HDCA), this book primarily examines the relevant policy and legal flexibilities under the existing international copyright system, and their implications for access to knowledge required for creative innovation and higher education. Exploring the interfaces between copyright and higher education, this book argues that an unbalanced and restrictive copyright system impedes reasonable access to knowledge, and stifles creative and learning freedoms or capabilities. In effect, a restrictive copyright system results in serious ramifications for sustainable human development. In view of its findings, this book underscores the need for rethinking copyright and reframing its relevant flexibilities as users' rights that are vital for promoting creative and learning capabilities towards sustainable human development. Further, the book emphasizes the complementarities between copyright and higher education, and their joint roles for sustainable human development. Given its application of the HDCA to explore ranges of interlinked topics, this book will be of a great interest to researchers across the fields of intellectual property law, innovation, global development, human rights, and higher education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the recent debate about copyright law and its impact on the distribution of scientific knowledge from an economic perspective. The focus is on the question whether a copyright regime or an open access regime is better suited to the norms and organizational structure in a purely global science community. The book undertakes a thorough economic analysis of the academic journal market and showcases consequences of a regime change. It also takes account of the Digital Divide debate, reflecting issues in developing countries. Finally, a comprehensive analysis of legal action in the light of international Intellectual Property (IP) agreements offers prospects on the future of academic publishing.
