Taking into account of developments at the World Trade Organization and at the World Intellectual Property Organization, this book incorporates the author's research on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs). Containing the theoretical and analytical elements, it offers an analysis of how intellectual property is politically constructed.

Covering the World Intellectual Property Organization, this volume introduces an element of the contemporary structure of global governance to scholars of international political economy. This work discusses: how the World Intellectual Property Organization works, its antecedents and history; and more.

Challenging theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity, this book provides a series of specific studies which illustrate the re-enchantment and occulture theses developed in volume one. It examines, for example, healthcare and nursing, contemporary environmentalism, psychedelia and drug use.
