ABSTRACT
This book is about the use of genetic resources (GR) and traditional knowledge (TK) associated with GR. Besides TK, it also addresses scientific or ‘modern’ knowledge (MK) related to GR. The use of GR and TK/MK for research and development (R&D) is socio-legally organized in many forms. The most common are ‘free appropriation and use’, ‘property and market’ and ‘common pools’.
