The book presents a legal analysis that redefines genetic resources as information rather than tangible assets. It explores the historical, economic, and sociological implications of this perspective, highlighting how the preference for bilateral agreements and contracts illustrates a reluctance among stakeholders in the Convention on Biological Diversity process to accept this new understanding. Through this lens, it critiques current practices and advocates for a shift in how genetic resources are viewed and managed.
