Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: How has the US state used international law to reshape global production and consumption of genetically modified foods? This paper traces the domestic evolution of U.S. intellectual property rights' law from 1988-1994 to show how it serves as the foundation for US efforts to expand international protection for Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) as a way to use the 'life sciences industry' as a fundamental resource. By deepening the legalization of global trade, these efforts serve to expand the US role as a hegemonic state. The US domestic IPR regime was exported into the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Both processes extend U.S. structural power by embedding its scientific and technological 'comparative advantage' into the rules promulgated by the WTO. The paper thus challenges scholars to problematize the role of international law as a non-neutral factor in world affairs.
