The book addresses representation of the public interest in Internet standard developing organisations (SDOs). Much of the existing literature on Internet governance focuses on international organisations such as the United Nations (UN), the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The literature covering standard developing organisations has to date focused on organisational aspects. This book breaks new ground with investigation of standard development within SDO fora. Case studies centre on standards relating to privacy and security, mobile communications, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and copyright. The book lifts the lid on internet standard setting with detailed insight into a world which, although highly technical, very much affects the way in which citizens live and work on a daily basis. In doing this it adds significantly to the trajectory of research on Internet standards and SDOs that explore the relationship between politics and protocols. 0The analysis contributes to academic debates on democracy and the internet, global self-regulation and civil society, and international decision-making processes in unstructured environments. The book advances work on the Multiple Streams Framework (MS) by applying it to decision-making in non-state environments, namely SDOs which have long been dominated by private actors. The book is aimed at academic audiences in political science, computer science, communications, and science and technology studies as well as representatives from civil society, the civil service, government, engineers and experts working within SDO fora. It will also be accessible to students at the postgraduate and undergraduate levels.

This report, one in a series of studies by the OECD and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), enhances understanding of the issues and challenges facing governments, businesses and society posed by the trade in fake pharmaceutical products. Illicit markets for fake pharmaceuticals are attractive for counterfeiters, given the high profit margins, low risks of detection and prosecution, weak penalties, and the ease with which consumers can be deceived into believing that the counterfeit products are genuine. Counterfeit medicines not only cause economic damage for the sector, but are also a significant threat to public health, since fake medicines are often not properly formulated and may contain dangerous ingredients. Fake pharmaceuticals include antibiotics, lifestyle treatments, pain killers, anti-malarial drugs, diabetes treatments and central nervous system medicines.

Nove Smjernice OECD-a za korporativno upravljanje u poduzećima u državnom vlasništvu predstavljaju međunarodno dogovoren standard koji državama pomaže u vrednovanju i unapređivanju svojih vlasničkih funkcija u poduzećima u državnom vlasništvu. Dobro korporativno upravljanje poduzećima u državnom vlasništvu ključni je reformski prioritet u brojnim zemljama. Poboljšana učinkovitost i veća transparentnost u javnom sektoru donose brojne ekonomske prednosti, posebno u zemljama u kojima je državno vlasništvo važno. Osim toga, stvaranje ravnopravnih uvjeta za privatna i javna poduzeća doprinosi stabilnosti i konkurentnosti poslovnog sektora. Smjernice koje su prvotno usvojene 2005. predstavljaju skup dobrih praksi za pravni i regulatorni okvir poduzeća u državnom vlasništvu, profesionalizaciju funkcije državnog vlasništva i sustave korporativnog upravljanja u poduzećima u državnom vlasništvu. Ova nova verzija preporuka razvijena je nakon gotovo deset godina iskustva u njihovoj provedbi te brojnih tematskih i komparativnih istraživanja razvijenih na temelju ranije verzije Smjernica, koja su ukazala na potrebu za revizijom Smjernica te pomogla u njezinoj izradi, osobito u područjima kao što su objavljivanje i transparentnost, tržišno natjecanje u javnom i privatnom sektoru, prakse nadzornih odbora i financiranje poduzeća u državnom vlasništvu.
