Nations seek security through military technologies, but within legal frameworks. By protecting invention, global intellectual property law affects how they develop and disseminate weaponry. But how will additive manufacturing and cyber espionage accelerate that dissemination? How much should military concerns affect commercial law? Will Russia and China fight this regime, or seek benefits from joining it? Farley and Isaacs address all these questions, critically advancing our understanding through integrative analysis of international law and security. -- James Hasik, George Mason University Scholars in the fields of international relations, defense technology, and intellectual property law will find Farley and Isaacs's Patents for Power an exemplar of innovative multidisciplinary analysis. Operating at the nexus of political science, economics, and legal theory, their vividly written, and persuasively argued book has resonance for academics and practitioners alike. -- Mark E. Duckenfield, Army War College
