ABSTRACT:
The rise of the modern economy centered upon knowledge, knowledge workers, and knowledge artifacts has brought with it the promise of technological growth and innovation, but also new challenges in political governance and economic development. Maintaining the proper incentives for knowledge creation against the necessity of a broad information commons is a delicate compromise on both a domestic scale with various private and public interests, as well on an international one with developed states and developing states. The strength and scope of intellectual property regimes directly affect this balance of interests. As they are developed and revised for the modern age, these regimes raise broad implications for the health and future of the global knowledge economy.
