Formation of Information Justice and its Application to Intellectual Commons and Traditional Knowledge

由于知识产权的效率难以评估，效率与自由之间的权衡受到质疑，因此，其正当性最终取决于通过民主决策使基于政治责任的过程合法化。然而，考虑到政策制定过程的结构性偏差，有必要寻求一种治理机制来尽可能地纠正这种偏差。此外，通过采用后果论，可以澄清必须确保的基本自由的范围。最后，本项目强调必须考虑到人类行为的内部视角，以确定知识产权制度的效力。

As the efficiency of intellectual property right is difficult to assess and the tradeoffs between efficiency and the freedom become questioned, the justification ultimately depends on the legitimization of the process based on political responsibility through democratic decision making. However, considering the policy-making process is structurally biased, it is necessary to seek a governing mechanism to correct the bias as much as possible. In addition, by adopting a consequentialist theory, the scope of fundamental freedom that must be ensured may become clarified. Finally this project stresses on the importance to take into account also an internal perspective of human behaviour to establish the efficacy of systems of intellectual property right.
