It focuses on biodiversity and its relationship with the IPR regime. The relationship between the Convention on Biological Diversity and the WTO TRIPs Agreement has been analysed, including comparing the relevant provisions of these two regulatory regimes. All questions have been addressed by citing examples so that this monograph can become an effective tool for enhancing economic literacy in countries like India.

ABC of Aid for Trade #12
This monograph attempts to give concise answers to the fundamental questions concerning A4T – from identifying needs and potential beneficiaries to the concerns of diverse stakeholders. A brief description of the evolution of trade-related assistance towards A4T as well as the latest trends therein offer some important insights into a better understanding of the major difficulties faced by developing countries amidst liberalisation and the call for complementary measures. While depicting the implementation challenges of A4T, this monograph discusses a number of reasons why market access is insufficient on its own to guarantee increased growth and trade.
