Abstract
The international recognition of traditional knowledge (TK) is of recent origin as is the gradual realization that it can no longer be neglected in the development context. Moreover, this issue has become contentious with the emergence of biotechnology, conflicts between the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity. Focusing mainly on agricultural and medical research, the paper tries to analyse the continuous interactions between different epistemological traditions, colonial interventions and marginalization of traditional knowledge. In this context, a more comprehensive treatment is contended for promoting TK than merely providing incentives in terms of intellectual property rights. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
