Recenzii

"This is an interesting book, and one of only a few to offer a historical approach to the study of Africa and the international legal order. George Forji Amin explores the complicity of international law in the economic stagnation of the continent by way of a historical account of resource extraction that draws from themes such as Third World approaches, postcolonialism, imperialism, property rights, historical materialism and slavery. [...] The book offers a rare example of how to paint a bigger picture, bringing together the role of international law, its processes and intellectual uses in Africa. It is a most welcome contribution."
