No full textThe article discusses the role and the impact of the Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) in the economic development of the developing countries. IPRs in recent years became a controversial issue. The fiery debate surrounding the issue happened immediately as soon as the signing of the Trade Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) by member countries (Bronckers 1994). In the beginning, TRIPS had never became an important issue in GATT. In fact, during the Uruguay Round of GATT, which established the World Trade Organisation (WTO) (Siebeck 1990a) in 1994, Intellectual Property Rights had never attracted any attention. However, several major things happened in the recent years, had made the members of the WTO realised that this issue had indeed became one of the most important agenda of the WTO and carries a profound impact towards the developing countries
International regime and the role of the state: telecommunications liberalisation in Malaysia -Singapore
No full textThis paper explores the role of the stateMalaysia - Singapore in developing communications policy after GATS (General Agreement on Trade and Services). Although there is substantial evidence that the forces of global media and international regime such as GATT/WTO and US structural power threaten the state in relations to communications and information, this paper seeks to examine what states can and cannot do in reference to Malaysia and Singapore. Certainly, states currently face changing and challenging conditions. The remarkable global expansion of media corporations, facilitated by liberalisation and privatisation of media system worldwide and the development of cable and satellite technologies, has reduced states\u27 ability to exercise power and maintain information sovereignty. It would be unwarranted, however to conclude that the state no longer matters. Kenichi Ohmae (1996), however, proposed the idea of the end of the nation state and "nation states are dinosours waiting to die." Is that so for Malaysia and Singapore? This Paper ultimately highlights how a changing regime in the telecommunications sector alters the way in which telecommunications, as an industry and in terms of policy of individual countries is developed and reshaped

Self-Censorship Regulatory Structure: Can We Control Political of Hates, Violence & Sex in Children Computer & Video Games?
No full textThis article examines some of the extreme negative content available to teenagers and young children in the market. Extreme negative values such as political of hates, violence and sex in some of the children computer and video games were made possible due to several factors such as lacking in regulatory structure, week policy implementation, rampant of illegal and uncensored materials. Computer and video games have been the subject of frequent controversy and censorship, due to the depiction of graphic violence, sexual themes, racism, advertising, eavesdropping, consumption of illegal drugs, consumption of alcohol or tobacco, propaganda or profanity in some games. Among others, critics of video games sometimes include parents' groups, politicians, organized religion groups, and other special interest groups. Young children who see violent acts in movies, shows, and games may not be able to tell the difference between “make-believe” and real life. They may not understand that real violence hurts and kills people. When the “good guys” or heroes use violence, children may learn that it is okay to use force to solve problems. Younger children may even become more afraid of the world around them. Can self-censorship and ratings system help

No full textTerrorist groups online networking tactics: Why Twitter Magnetize the youth of Saudi Arabia?
No full textIn July 2013, the European Parliament distinguished Wahhabism as the fundamental wellspring of worldwide fear mongering, but then the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, censuring IS in the most grounded terms, has demanded that "the thoughts of fanaticism, radicalism and psychological warfare don't have a place with Islam in any capacity". Different individuals from the Saudi decision class, be that as it may, look all the more sympathetic on the development, commending its staunch restriction to Shiaism and for its Salafi devotion, its adherence to the first practices of Islam. IS' abuse of online networking and computerized system assumes a key part in its worldwide scattering of promulgation, radicalization, and enlistment. Be that as it may, deliberate research on Islamic fear monger correspondence by means of online networking is constrained. Our examination researches the inquiry: How do IS individuals/supporters utilize Twitter for fear based oppression correspondence: publicity, radicalization, and enrollment? Hypothetically, we drew on microeconomic system speculations to build up a hypothetical structure for multi-sided Twitter organizes in the worldwide Islamic psychological militant corre-spondence condition. Exactly, we gathered 3,039 tweets posted by @shamiwitness who was recognized in earlier research as "a data disseminator" for the IS cause. Methodologically, we performed interpersonal organization investigation, pattern and substance examina-tions of the tweet information. We find solid proof for Shamiwitness-intermediated multi-sided Twitter systems of worldwide broad communications, territorial Arabic broad communications, IS warriors, and IS sympathizers, supporting the structure's utility. The paper will focus on probing solutions that can guide the youth in using Twitter for a more positive approach and how can this influence be eradicated. The interview approach will be used to gather data and make the implications
