As intellectual (rather than
physical) assets begin to increasingly dominate the world economic scene,
intellectual property rights (IPR) matters have moved to stage in the world of
international economic relations. In China, however, since it began building its
own IPR regime, the nation has been in constant debate on the proper role to
accord IPR in the economic development. Even after the nation has put in place
an IPR regime based largely on international standards as a result of the WTO
accession, the debate is still on-going. As a keen observer of the
transformation of the intellectual property regime in China, the author has
produced a timely book that has acutely diagnosed the dynamics of the evolving
regime for IPR in China, and unraveled the unique political economy of the
regime's interface with the internationalized intellectual property
system.
