Reviews
The debate about the impact of the domestic political context on the further development of the global governance of intellectual property rights (IPRs) is often conducted without much actual local evidence. In this book, Faris Nesheiwat explores the case of Jordan to set out the manner in which local attitudes, politics and interests impact on the reception of the global message about IPRs. This `localized contextualisation' underlines the need to move away from a one-size-fits-all model of intellectual property legislation and take seriously the wildly varying needs, structures and normative commitments that are evident in different societies. Through a close analysis of Jordan, Nesheiwat provides a vital corrective to top-down treatments of intellectual property governance and by doing so encourages a more nuanced and subtle treatment of the problem of intellectual property in the new millennium. -Professor Chris May, Lancaster University
