Kommentar zu einem Zeitungsartikel von Albert Bitzius, erschienen im "Intelligenzblatt für die Stadt Bern" vom 14. Februar 1849

Rezension zu: Inge Govaere and Hanns Ulrich (eds.): Intellectual Property, Public Policy and International Trade

The contemporary intellectual property rights (IPR) system is not a simple, smoothly working block of rules but is complex and full of ambiguities, and as many argue, imperfections. Some deficits relate on the one hand to the inherent centrality of authorship, originality and mercantilism to the ‘Western’ IP model, which leaves numerous non-Western, collaborative or folkloric modes of production outside the scope of protection. On the other hand, some imperfections stem from the way IPR are granted, whereby creators acquire a temporary monopoly over their works and thus exclude the public from having access to them. In this sense, it is often uncertain whether the existent IPR model appropriately reflects the precarious balance between private and public interests, and whether the best incentives to promote creativity and innovation - the initially stated objectives of intellectual property protection - are offered. The matter becomes still more complicated when one considers that the IPR system is not domestically contained but is globalised and strongly affected by rules at the regional and international levels. The question of whether the balance between private interests and public values is sustained within the international legal framework, epitomised by the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) of the World Trade Organization (WTO), is precisely the topic of the book reviewed here. Review of Intellectual Property, Public Policy, and International Trade, edited by Inge Govaere and Hanns Ullrich, P.I.E. Peter Lang, 2007.

Desafios da sociedade de risco global: Ulrich Beck e um cosmopolitismo para o século XXI

Como em nenhuma época anterior da história, o início do século XXI encontra-se perante desafios que colocam em causa tanto a sobrevivência humana como a do próprio planeta Terra. A característica principal desses desafios é a sua dimensão planetária, o que faz com que Ulrich Beck designe a sociedade actual como Sociedade de Risco Global. Segundo Beck, a solução para os problemas da Sociedade de Risco Global passa por um esforço de cooperação internacional por parte das instituições políticas e por uma releitura do conceito de Cosmopolitismo como elemento de uma nova cultura política. Neste artigo, pretendemos expor a forma como Beck adopta o conceito de Cosmopolitismo adaptado à realidade dos desafios do século XXI.
