Books by Susy (Victoria University of Wellington) Frankel

Small market economies provide a unique insight into balancing competing interests in global intellectual property. As developed countries and net-importers of intellectual property, such economies can have similar concerns to some developing countries. Susy Frankel uses examples drawn from small market economies to explore global intellectual property issues.

In this book, a diverse collection of experts explore the tension between the expectation that nations will obey international economic rules, such as those promulgated by the WTO, IMF and World Bank and in international investment treaties, and the pressures those countries experience to satisfy competing domestic political interests.
