Reviews
This highly informative volume, organised around a clear structure, will guide newcomers as well as specialists through the labyrinth of what looks like, at first sight, a very technical and complicated issue. While building in details on the case of the genetic resources' institutional complex, already covered by former studies because of its distinctive features, this book provides the reader with updated information and interesting insights for its understanding and management. --Amandine Orsini, Universite Saint-Louis, Brussels, BelgiumThis is a valuable overview of the landscape of genetic resources governance at the international level identifying key resources, issues, rules, actors and processes. The work's key contribution is to identify interactions and connections between the different governance elements and then to systematically consider some of the cross cutting governance issues. This analysis is very clear and a welcome challenge to some of the existing orthodoxy. --Charles Lawson, Griffith Law School, Australia
