Biographical note
Edited by Hanns Ullrich, Professor Emeritus, Affiliated Research Fellow, Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition, Munich, Germany, Peter Drahos, Professor Emeritus, European University Institute, Florence, Italy and Professor Emeritus, Australian National University, Canberra, Australia and Gustavo Ghidini, Professor Emeritus, University of Milan and Senior Professor of Intellectual Property and Competition Law, LUISS University, Rome, ItalyThis third volume of Kritika again brings together leading scholars from different fields and disciplines. Their essays reflect on some of the big problems in the field, addressing issues such as the way that institutions like WIPO continue with their propertization missions, how the bells of lobbyists toll incessantly for new data rights, and the ways in which discourses of human rights and information justice struggle to turn intellectual property from an instrument of private accumulation into one of service for the common good. Important questions in the field are also tackled, for example, how does the Islamic view of knowledge as life cohere with intellectual property, at a time when, as other essays show, intellectual property grounds new forms of state imperium?
