<br/><br/> A fresh, multidisciplinary and exciting look at the making and remaking of pharmaceutical patents at the GAT/WTO, utilizing a Coxian political economy of continuity and change in the global political economy (GPE). Marcellin addresses the role of the transnational drug industry in the making of the patent provisions in the original TRIPS Agreement, and consequently the role of the African Group at the WTO in the remaking of patent provisions.
