The panel will explore the role of intellectual property in international trade. Using recent developments such as negotiation of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) and the Social Science Research Council’s report on Media Piracy in Emerging Economies as points of departure, the panel will focus on the place of intellectual property in U.S. trade policy, the changing landscape of international negotiations, the impact of international trade agreements and intellectual property protection on global health, and the relevance of political boundaries in defining and enforcing intellectual property rights.
