- Synopsis
- After colonization, indigenous people faced an extractive property rights regime for both their land and knowledge. This book outlines that regime, and how the symbolic function of international intellectual property continues today to assist states to enclose indigenous people’s knowledge. Drawing on more than 200 interviews, Peter Drahos examines the response of indigenous people to the colonizer’s nondevelopmental property rights. The case studies reveal how they have adapted to the state’s extractive order through a process of regulatory bricolage. In order to create a new developmental future for themselves, indigenous developmental networks have been forged – high-trust networks that include partnerships with science. Intellectual Property, Indigenous People and their Knowledge argues for a developmental intellectual property order for indigenous people based on a combination of simple rules, principles and a process of regulatory convening.
