Intellectual property rights in emerging markets

the long version

"With the globalization of the world economy, developing nations are finding that maintaining competitiveness is a critical factor in development. Intellectual property protection has increasingly become a factor in attracting foreign and domestic investment and in maximizing a country's economic growth potential. As policymakers in developing countries struggle to attract investment and world-class technologies to their shores, they are beginning to pay more attention to their standards of intellectual property protection."--Jacket.
