Abstract

The book in which this chapter is published maps the contours of a variety of partner-ships between public and private stakeholders – often referred to as public–private-partnerships (PPPs) – in several contexts, including education, health care and access to medicines, as well as agriculture clean energy and food security. In particular, the book’s objective is to study the growing importance of shared governance between public and private entities as a suitable model through which a variety of stakeholders can collaborate more efficiently and achieve (more) successful outcomes. As a contribution to this effort, this chapter focuses on the role that the state, the private sector, and the relationship between them in building an optimal framework for governing geographical indications of origin (GIs). As this chapter describes, GIs are signs that are used to identify products that have a specific geographical origin and possess particular qualities or a reputation that are essentially attributable to that origin. Traditionally, GI protection has been justified both on the consumer information function of GIs as well as on the role of GIs as tools to incentivize local and rural development, most commonly in agriculture intensive countries.
