Description:	In view of the stakes outlined here, this book seeks to set GIs in the context of the overall development of today’s economies and societies as marked by globalization and the interaction of cultures that this entails. GIs are products that are both very ancient in terms of their ancestral function and very modern in terms of what is at stake. As more is understood about them, it becomes clear that they raise profound and far-reaching questions about the nature, eff ects and requisite conditions of globalization. What actually is ‘liberalism’? What kind of regulations will be required in the future to achieve it? How does an overall liberal market dynamic (with its market failures) square with the preservation and management of public goods? GIs provide a fi ne example of how economic development of the planet might be envisioned so that it takes account of this classic opposition and the complexity of the main issues involved.
