Conflicts in the Knowledge Society
In Conflicts in the Knowledge Society, Sebastian Haunss demonstrates how conflicts relating to the international system of intellectual property have resulted in new cleavages in the knowledge society. Furthermore, he argues that new collective actors have emerged from these conflicts with the ability to contest the existing dominant order. With a focus on political opportunity structures, collective action networks and framing strategies, he combines a theoretical discussion of social change in the knowledge society with empirical analyses of four recent developments: software patents in Europe, access to medicines, Creative Commons licensing and Pirate Parties.
The Politics of HIV/AIDS in Russia
This book studies the role of civil society organisations in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Russia. It looks at how Russia’s HIV/AIDS epidemic has developed into a serious social, economic and political problem, and how according to the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Russia is currently facing the biggest HIV/AIDS epidemic in all of Europe with an estimated number of 980,000 people living with HIV in 2009. The book investigates civil society organisations’ contribution to social change and civil society development in post-Soviet Russia, and thus situates a specific type of civil society actors into a broader socio-political context and questions their ability to represent civic interests, particularly in the field of social policy-making and health. This allows for a better understanding of the dynamics of state-society relations in present-day Russia, and gives insight into the ways HIV/AIDS NGOs in Russia have used transnational ties in order to exert influence on domestic policy-making in the field of HIV/AIDS.
Politics of Intellectual Property
We know much more about the global politics of intellectual property than we do about national political contests over the ownership of knowledge. Haunss and Shadlen have identified this gap in the literature and have done a fine job of bringing together a set of essays that helps to fill this gap in our understanding of the multi-layered nature of intellectual property politics. Peter Drahos, The Australian National University, Canberra This thought-provoking volume provides invaluable new insights and is a major contribution to the debate on the politics of intellectual property rights.

Die Regulierung von geistigen Eigentumsrechten in der Europäischen Union
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,1, Freie Universität Berlin (Otto-Suhr-Institut), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: „Die Frage der Softwarepatente ist die Jerusalemfrage des Informationszeitalters.“1, soll Erkki Liikanen, ehemaliger EU-Kommissar für Informationsgesellschaft, einmal in Bezug auf den Schutz von geistigen Eigentumsrechten gesagt haben. Dabei hätte man die schlagende Aktualität und die gleichzeitig außerordentliche Empfindlichkeit der Thematik nicht besser wiedergeben können. Die rechts- sowie wirtschaftspolitische Brisanz der Diskussion lässt auch fast fünf Jahre nach dem Präzedenzfall der abgelehnten Richtlinie ...

Postfordismus aus der Perspektive der Regulationstheorie
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Arbeit, Beruf, Ausbildung, Organisation, Note: 1,0, Helmut-Schmidt-Universität - Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Wenn Banken international so streng reguliert würden wie derzeit geplant, koste dies Wachstum und Arbeitsplätze, sagte IIF- und Deutsche-Bank-Chef Josef Ackermann" (Freiberger/Hagelüken: 2010). Anhand dieser Aussage wird deutlich, dass Regulierung einen (in)direkten Einfluss auf die wirtschaftliche Situation hat. Aus diesem Grund ist diese Arbeit, die sich mit den zentralen Elementen des Postfordismus befasst, in den Kontext der Regulationstheorie gestellt worden. Der Postfordismus is...
