Exclusivity - the Roadblock to Democracy?
41 Pages Posted: 26 Jan 2006
Abstract
The author responds to Privatization: The Road to Democracy?, a paper presented by Professor Carol Rose as the Childress Lecture at Saint Louis University School of Law in September 2005. The author argues that there is no simple causal link between privatization efforts and the establishment of democratic institutions. Instead, institutions of democracy and private property have to be determined simultaneously. The author examines how intellectual property law illustrates this simultaneity.
