How are international declarations on human genetics being implemented in developing countries? Implications of and for international relations theory
Adèle's project examines international regulatory instruments on human genetics, focusing on three UNESCO declarations: the 1997 Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights, the 2003 International Declaration on Human Genetic Data and the 2005 Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights. All three contain articles on cooperation between North and South in knowledge sharing and capacity building. Adèle is interested in the impact of the declarations on developing countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, where she has conducted fieldwork in Kenya and South Africa. She is also looking at the relationship between these instruments and other models for promoting genomics technology in the South. Her theoretical perspective is international relations, primarily regime theory, global governance and cosmopolitan democracy.
The project is funded by the Wellcome Trust Biomedical Ethics Programme, grant ref. 075315.
