The Copy/South Dossier: Issues in the economics, politics, and ideology of copyright in the global South

Description

The Copy/South Dossier offers a critical examination of the global copyright regime through the lens of the Global South. Rather than treating intellectual property as a neutral legal framework, this collection exposes how copyright law has been weaponized to enforce Western economic priorities at the expense of developing nations. It traces the history of intellectual property law from colonial roots to modern digital enforcement, showing how these structures perpetuate inequality under the guise of innovation and fair use.\n\nFor students of international law, economics, and political theory, this is an essential resource. The dossier brings together diverse perspectives on how copyright impacts access to knowledge, medicine, and cultural expression in the Global South. It is a necessary intervention in the conversation about digital rights, fair use, and the politics of intellectual property.
