This text was prompted by the emergence of two global issues: the patenting of life forms via biotechnology; and the global crisis of natural and agricultural biodiversity. The book explores the emergence of a social movement in response to these issues, developing concerns through a case study.
Genetic patenting - knowledge, global governance and the anti-GM movement; patenting discourses - enclosure and expert systems; global governance - hegemonic trips, Biotech and the WTO; the counter-expert challenge - NGO leadership in the anti-GM movement; cosmopolitan networking - counter-experts and global civil society; global civil society and global governance - NGOs and the FAO in Leipzig; conclusion - counter-experts, social movements and global politics.
