| description | Geographical Indications (GIs), widely used in the European context, are being promoted as vehicles for local development: but do they truly serve the interests of the Global South? Can they foster meaningful change in former colonial societies? This open access book interrogates these questions through a critical legal lens grounded in Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), to assess whether GIs – codified in international trade agreements like the EU-CARIFORUM Economic Partnership Agreement – can support ‘development from within’ for the small island developing states of the Caribbean. Providing a fresh perspective on the colonial roots, current utility and future potential of GI laws, the book engages with Caribbean realities and includes global case studies from Demerara rum in Guyana, Ethiopian coffee, Indian Darjeeling tea, Colombian coffee, Mexican Tequila, and Barbados Rum. In a world shaped by international trade rules, GIs and sustainable development offer a powerful lens into how the law of origin-linked products – like Champagne, Tequila, and Jamaican Rum – can shape futures for postcolonial states. Geographical Indications in International Trade is essential reading for academics, policymakers, legal practitioners and development professionals seeking to understand the tensions between intellectual property law and sustainable development. It challenges readers to rethink international trade rules and consider how GI law can be reclaimed by third-world nations as a transformative tool for heritage-based, sustainable economic development.
