Abstract

[In the previous chapters, I developed a theory of institutional change in IP based on the case of South American soybean agriculture. I explained why the global trend toward stronger private IP launched by the US around 1980 has been reproduced in different forms and degrees across Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. At the center of my narrative was transnational corporation Monsanto, which has employed different strategies vis-à-vis national governments and rural producers to increase protection for private IP rights on the seed and herbicide technologies it provides to rural producers.]
