International Development Law: Rule of Law, Human Rights & Global Finance

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2021

This book describes how international development works, its shortcomings, its theoretical and practical foundations, along with prescriptions for the future. International Development Law provides the reader with new perspectives on the origins of global poverty, identifies legal impediments to sustainable economic growth, and provides a better understanding of the challenges faced by the international community in resolving global poverty issues.

The text is structured into two basic parts: the first part deals with the theoretical and philosophic foundations of the subject, and the second part sets forth issues relating to the international financial architecture, namely, international borrowing practices, privatization, and emerging economies. In particular, the book provides new, innovative analysis on corruption as an impediment to sustainable development. The three interlocking facets of corruption are examined: transnational organized crime, Islamic-based international terrorism, and corruption within emerging economies and the international banking system. Thus fresh new analysis adds depth and clarity to a field that heretofore has been scattered and superficial. Finally, the “right to development” within the international human rights discourse is critically reviewed, particularly in light of new jurisprudence emerging from the African context.

This book offers a fresh, new and balanced legal perspective on the development process. The text has been rigorously researched and has many practical facets based on the author’s professional experience within the international development field. It is an invaluable research and teaching tool since it takes a multidisciplinary approach to putting complex issues, legal trends and political questions into a clear, new perspective that is highly analytical as well as accessible to the reader. The author's elegant legal prose is both powerful and persuasive.

Recenzii

...if you have pretty much any interest in this intersection of topics, or newly emerging international legal field, however you want to put it, I think you will have to take a look at this book.
International Development Law: Rule of Law, Human Rights, and Global Finance provides a tightly interwoven, well-organized, multi-disciplinary approach to the complex legal issues underlying sustainable international development. Professor Sarkar provides an overarching view of the legal principles that constitute international development law in an easily understandable way. This book gives the reader new insights on the origins of global poverty, identifies legal impediments to long-term, sustainable economic growth, and provides a better understanding of the challenges faced by the international community in resolving global poverty issues.
There is a huge amount of historical and philosophical information packed into International Development Law, with smatterings of anthropological and sociological thoughts here and there, that provides a text covering the complex legal & financial issues involved in international development. And Sarkar does it in an easy to read, well-organized manner (the glossary, abbreviations list, and index are nothing to sneeze at either)...I would recommend this book for any academic or firm library, definitely, as an academic treatise as well as a helpful guide for practicing attorneys in international development law.
In this path-breaking work, Professor Rumu Sarkar expertly combines law, philosophy, political theory, and economic analysis with real world experience to establish for the first time a comprehensive foundation of substantive law principles of international development law. This meticulously documented work is sure to be the touchstone for all future writing in a subject area that is quickly emerging as one of the most important in international law.
This book is a valuable contribution to the literarture on a developing area of international law. Sarkar's work is thoughtful and well researched; it largely achieves the goal of bringing cohesion to a largely scattered topic.
Rumu Sarkar's new book comes as a most welcome decisive step forward. Making full use of her acute intelligence and multiple fields of expertise, and writing with the moral passion of one who cares personally for those whom development at its best is meant to benefit, Sarkar works just that synthesis which international development law, as a simultaneously academic and practical discipline fraught with ethical importance, has been so long awaiting.
Rumu Sarkar makes the case for looking at international development law from the prism of mutuality, a duty of cooperation and equitable participation in development. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to readers of international development law, whether they be students or practitioners.
