A presente dissertação se propõe a analisar a interação entre o sistema internacional de direitos humanos e o sistema internacional de propriedade intelectual e as implicações desta relação para o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro, no que concerne especificamente aos direitos de autor e direitos conexos. No ano em que o Acordo TRIPS completará vinte anos, é oportuna a reflexão a respeito da efetividade de suas regras, especialmente quanto à capacidade de interagir com os demais sistemas jurídicos internacionais, especialmente o sistema internacional de direitos humanos. A leitura da seção de princípios e regras gerais (especialmente do artigo 6°, referente à exaustão de direitos) e da seção relativa aos direitos de autor do Acordo TRIPS (especialmente do artigo 13, que estabelece a Regra dos Três Passos) parece indicar para a previsão de limites à exploração destes direitos em vistas dos objetivos de promoção do desenvolvimento e de equilíbrio de interesses entre, de um lado, autores e titulares e, de outro lado, utilizadores das obras artísticas e literárias protegidas. Contudo, tem se verificado que o sistema internacional de propriedade intelectual tem caminhado na via contrária. Com a proliferação...

#Access to information#call centers#information technology and communication#automated interaction#managerial assessment#evaluation
With the purpose of at lowering costs and reendering the demanded information available to users with no access to the internet, service companies have adopted automated interaction technologies in their call centers, which may or may not meet the expectations of users. Based on different areas of knowledge (man-machine interaction, consumer behavior and use of IT) 13 propositions are raised and a research is carried out in three parts: focus group, field study with users and interviews with experts. Eleven automated service characteristics which support the explanation for user satisfaction are listed, a preferences model is proposed and evidence in favor or against each of the 13 propositions is brought in. With balance scorecard concepts, a managerial assessment model is proposed for the use of automated call center technology. In future works, the propositions may become verifiable hypotheses through conclusive empirical research.

This workshop report is a summary of themes discussed by five panels during a daylong workshop on “Innovation and Access to Technologies for Sustainable Development: A Global Perspective” at Harvard University on April 24,2014. The workshop brought together a diverse group of scholars to explore how the technological innovation needed for sustainable development can be promoted in ways that assure equitable access in current and future generations.
Three key themes that emerged from the workshop include:(1) The central role of power, politics and agency in analyzing technological innovation and sustainable development
-an important aspect of this includes the articulation of the roles of actors and organizations within frameworks and models of innovation systems.(2) The importance of focusing both on supply-push and demand-pull mechanisms in innovation scholarship and innovation policy.(3) The need to focus on more innovation scholarship around the goals of sustainable development.

This report is based on two case studies
carried out in Brazil and India on the impact of various
strategies to reduce the cost of trade for small-scale
producers. Small scale producers especially those located in
lagging regions in developing countries lack easy access to
efficient logistics services. They are faced with long
distances from both domestic and international markets.
Unless the enterprises are able to consolidate traffic
volumes they can be excluded from international supply
chains. However, the process of consolidation is not without
cost nor does it occur on its own accord. It is typically
handled by outside parties in the form of intermediaries.
The study was designed around the horizontal relationships
between the small scale producers and their vertical
connections to higher tier parties involved in the same
supply chain. It analyzes the cooperative approach to
linking producers, the role of itinerant traders, and a
newer and innovative approach to the same problem through
virtual integration of farmers using modern information
communication technologies. These approaches were explored
by studying two separate supply chains...

Recent evidence suggests that increasing
overall service coverage and promoting access to
telecommunications services have a high economic benefit.
Overall, it is estimated that a ten percent increase in
mobile telephony penetration could increase economic growth
by 0.81 percent in developing countries, whereas a ten
percent increase in broadband penetration could increase
economic growth by 1.4 percent. In rural and low-income
areas in particular, not only do basic telephony services
and broadband access allow population to connect with
relatives and friends, but they have also introduced a
dramatic increase in productivity and in many cases have
become the only way for small and medium enterprises in
rural areas to access national and, in some cases, global
markets. Moreover, the impact of access to
telecommunications in rural areas on health, education,
disaster management, and local governments has allowed
better and more rapid responses, improved coordination, and
more effective public management. It is therefore worthwhile
to take a second look at all possible policy options...

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are a potentially revolutionary means of empowering the poor. Realizing this potential will require investments that increase access to ICTs in remote low productivity areas and the development of innovative applications that cater to the needs of the poor and small firms. The costs of these kinds of investment have been decreasing rapidly, but still yield low short term private returns. The private sector cannot alone be expected to underwrite the costs of these developments. If Government does not support these public investments, economic disparities will rise, undermining social stability and future growth. Effective public sector action is required, to establish a regulatory and legal framework that enables the rise of a vibrant innovative competitive private telecommunications and ICT services sector, and to institute selective efficient and transparent public subsidies with high social payoff but low financial returns. This is needed most urgently precisely in developing country contexts where public institutions are often ineffective, corrupt and unaccountable. The challenge takes added significance in Indonesia, a country still recovering from severe economic and political crisis...

The study documents, and reviews the
Chilean experience in rural telecommunications, by focusing
on the principles, practical organization, basic design, and
outstanding issues for extension of a more advanced form of
approach to communication, and access to information. It
examines in depth the results, and success factors of the
Telecommunications Development Fund, established in 1994, a
success largely due to the extensive reliance on market
forces to determine, and allocate subsidies, to minimal
regulatory intervention, and relatively simple processing.
The design of the Fund proved robust, and remains the
leading example of a cost-effective solution to reduce
access gaps in basic communication in emerging economies.
However, questions remain on the sustainability of services
for the long run, on how to support the small, but still
excluded rural population, and on potential, further needs
in urban areas.

Access to information, and
communications technologies has become crucial to a
sustainable agenda of economic development, and poverty
reduction, and yet access remains concentrated in a few
regions and population groups, with the contours of this new
"digital divide" closely following, and
supplementing existing income, and economic divides.
However, technological innovations, economic pressures, and
regulatory reforms, are making access to information, and
communications technologies more affordable, and, providing
opportunities to close the digital divide. This discussion
paper outlines a number of policy, and regulatory measures,
including incentives to attract investors to high cost, or
challenging areas, that can be used under different
scenarios, to close the digital divide. While Bank Group
experience shows an increasing number of projects with
specific universal access components, this paper proposes
alternatives for Bank Group support for universal access
policies, through an appropriate mix of technical

Using novel data on patents, trade of
equipment goods, and foreign direct investments and insights
from the economic literature, the paper seeks to lay out the
state of knowledge on the role of innovation and the
diffusion of technologies in the greening of global value
chains as well as some of the main policy issues. A special
emphasis is put on developing countries -- distinguishing
emerging economies and least-developed countries -- and on
climate-mitigation technologies. Emerging economies are
already reasonably well integrated in the global economy. As
a consequence, technologies flow in through the imports of
capital goods and local investments by multinational
enterprises owning technologies. Pushing further technology
transfer requires strengthening intellectual property
rights, lowering barriers to trade and investments and
improving technological absorptive capacities. In contrast,
their role in innovation is limited. Standard tools of
innovation policy - public research and development, public
support to private research and development...

This knowledge note is the first of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Lighting
Africa, a joint IFC and World Bank program launched in 2007,
was the first private-sector-oriented effort to leverage new
LED lighting technologies to build sustainable markets that
provide safe, affordable, and modern off-grid lighting to
communities in Africa that lack access to electricity. By
2030 the program aims to enable the private sector to reach
250 million people who now depend on fuel-based lighting.
The case study for Africa is important, because the
continent faces a huge rural electricity deficit. Global
electrification in 2010 was estimated to be about 83
percent. The deficit of 17 percent encompasses some 1.2
billion people. Achieving universal access to modern energy
services is one of the three complementary objectives of the
Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative. Lighting
Africa succeeded as a catalyst for the off-grid lighting
market in Sub-Saharan Africa. Another success is apparent in
the spectacular trajectory of solar lantern sales in Kenya.

The Government of Panama and the private
sector recognize the importance of information and
communications technology (ICT) as an enabler of national
development. This ICT sector policy note seeks to identify
opportunities and challenges for growth of the ICT sector in
Panama, particularly on rural access to broadband services
and on cybersecurity, and potential for spillover impacts
across other sectors. It provides a brief overview of the
ICT sector in Panama and outlines a series of strategic
actions and recommendations aimed at leveraging ICT as an
engine of growth by targeting connectivity infrastructure,
policies, regulation, e-Services, public data, and skills.
The report is organized as follows: section one presents ICT
sector in the economy. Section two deals with offer for
connectivity. Section three presents demand. Section four
describes the sector status from the cybersecurity point of
view. Based on these analyses, section five identifies
challenges that are hindering the growth of the industry,
and section six presents policy options to overcome them.

This knowledge note is the second of
three case studies that concerns scaling up access to
electricity in Africa, Bangladesh, and Rwanda. Since its
inception in 2003, Bangladesh's solar home system
program has installed about three million electrification
systems in rural households, two-thirds of them in the last
three years. The program is the most dynamic off-grid
electrification program in the world, benefitting more than
15 million people and contributing about 130 MW in renewable
energy generation capacity. The case study for Bangladesh is
interesting, because off-grid electrification is crucial to
reaching universal access. Achieving universal access to
modern energy services is one of the three complementary
objectives of the Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL)
initiative. Bangladesh's rural electrification program
was initiated in 1977 with the creation of the Rural
Electrification Board (REB). Yet, it was estimated that at
the prevailing pace of grid electrification, Bangladesh was
going to take 50 years to reach universal access. By 2002...

This paper discusses the role of the
postal network in expanding access to financial services in
Kazakhstan. It reviews the public postal operator within the
postal sector and within the broader context of the
communications sector. The roles of the postal network and
state and privately-owned banks are also reviewed from the
perspective of the financial sector development, with
particular focus on payments systems development and
microfinance. While this country case on Kazakhstan can
stand alone, it is an integral part of this large study of
the potential of postal networks to coordinate with
financial service providers in 7 countries (Egypt,
Kazakhstan, Namibia, Romania, Sri Lanka, Uganda, and
Vietnam) and 5 regions (Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and
Central Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the
Middle East and Northern Africa). Within Central Asia and
the other countries of the former Soviet Union,
Kazakhstan's postal network is widely regarded as a
leader and pioneer in postal innovation, setting an example
for other postal operators in the region. An in-depth
assessment of Kazakhstan's postal network development
options could also be a model to guide other postal networks.

Mauritania is a vast country covering
over a million square kilometers, where a relatively small
population of 3.5 million people lives on just one-fifth of
the country’s total area. With extremely advanced
desertification, the country is particularly vulnerable to
the impact of climate change and other external shocks. The
main sources of income in Mauritania are agriculture, which
is either irrigated or rain-fed, and livestock. This is
especially the case in the Senegal River Valley, where
people make their living farming, raising livestock, and
fishing, while mining is prevalent in the north. Arable land
is therefore one of the country’s main resources, but it is
also a major source of contention due to increasing
urbanization and the limited availability of arable land.
This presentation relies on the key recommendations
emphasized in the Land Governance Framework Report (LGAF),
published by the World Bank in 2014. This report established
a far-reaching and more inclusive national land policy that
strengthens the security of land tenure for vulnerable
groups...

Over two thirds of Nigeria's
population resides in rural areas. Increasingly, poverty in
the country is wearing a rural face. From 28.3 percent in
1980, poverty among the rural population grew to 51.4
percent in 1985, has since risen to 69.8 percent in 1996.
Poverty tends to affect men and women differently. Women are
generally less educated, more vulnerable, deprived and
powerless than their male counterparts. 1.2 Poor people
experience insecurity and vulnerability (drought,
desertification, flooding, deforestation, diseases, volatile
commodity markets etc.); lack of empowerment to influence
public policies according to their priorities; and lack of
opportunities for income generation and benefits from
markets. Access to education, safe water supply, sanitation,
health, modern energy, telecommunications and roads are
important in reducing vulnerability and increasing prosperity.

Access to basic services plays an
important role in both individual well-being and a
country's economic development. For this reason,
general availability of these services to citizens,
regardless of income level and geographical location, has
generally been viewed as an important public policy goal.
However, the precise definition of this goal and the means
of attaining it have provoked controversy. This volume
explores whether liberalization can contribute to achieving
universal service goals and, if so, how, and looks at the
types of complementary policies that may be required. It
focuses on experience in four sectors: telecommunications,
financial, water and sanitation, and energy services. For
each sector, an overview paper and one or two case studies
from developing countries examine the experience of
governments in harnessing liberalization to meet social
goals. It is hoped that this cross-sector view will yield
general insights which a focus on a single sector may not,
and help each sector to generate ideas by drawing upon
experience in other sectors. A horizontal assessment also
helps to determine how far the services negotiations at the
World Trade Organization (WTO)...
