• Foreword Rochelle Cooper Dreyfuss; Preface; 1. The unique position of small market economies; 2. Trading in intellectual property: the TRIPS Agreement and Free Trade Agreements; 3. Interpretation of international intellectual property agreements; 4. Intellectual property and the nexus with innovation and cultural policies; 5. Flexing patent law; 6. Approaches to copyright; 7. Trade mark law; 8. Why small market economies do and don't parallel import; 9. An insight into protecting traditional knowledge and innovation; 10. Overview: what the international community can learn from the small market economy experience.

'This book provides a neatly sustained analysis of how small market economies have creatively exercised sovereign discretion to maneuver within the international intellectual property system. Professor Frankel offers a compelling analysis of what countries can and should consider doing to effectuate the public policy goals of the intellectual property system in the domestic context. Importantly, it carves out necessary intellectual space to underscore how countries may ably advance human welfare goals in the context of the IP and trade nexus. She challenges strongly held assumptions about the system's rigidity, and offers new insights about the prospects of re-framing the global debate over the role of international intellectual property in promoting cultural and economic development. Her arguments, grounded in the careful experiments of small market economies, make a solid case for normative flexibility. It is a must-read for scholars and policymakers.' Ruth Okediji, William L. Prosser Professor of Law, University of Minnesota
