Making Globalization Happen: The Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege

Autor Vijayashri Sripati
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 apr 2024
In Making Globalization Happen: The Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege, Sripati explains how, when, through which entities, and for what purposes economic globalization was catalyzed and its effects on the Global South in general and South Asia in particular. Based on an innovative international constitutional political economy framework, Sripati examines how the Western classical liberal constitution has shaped international law developments in this post-colonial era given its salience and comprehensive scope. Presenting a comprehensive narrative of economic globalization, Making Globalization Happen accurately and comprehensively links constitutional globalization to the following UN family-created agendas: peacebuilding, conflict prevention, human security, protection of civilians, sustainable development, global war on terrorism, women, peace, and security, poverty reduction or market-oriented development, ending conflict-related sexual violence, and justice (climate, criminal, and transitional). Sripati simultaneously provides the missing constitutional foundation for globalization and the fields that it has spawned: global studies and law and political economy. With these ground-breaking insights, Making Globalization Happen: The Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege clearly illustrates who drove constitutional globalization and for whose benefit: the UN family and transnational capitalists. Thus, it rips away the facade of UN family-driven peace, justice, human rights, democracy, and development to expose it as a narrative of power, profit, and privilege for transnational capitalists and debt, death, and despair for the Global South.

Recenzii

Vijayashri Sripati offers an original and important analysis of the UN and international institutions' role in Making Globalization Happen, placing constitution-making and reform at the centre of the analysis. This work makes an important contribution to our understanding and, most importantly, takes a non-Western perspective. It provides a detailed view of the hidden history and practices of globalization as a social, economic, and political process that was consciously enabled via the practices of international constitutionalization.
This is the first volume to knit the concepts of globalization and constitutionalism and to suggest a deep affinity between global economic constitutionalism and Third World constitutionalism. It is a richly provocative work. The criticism about TWAIL is justified; the proposed change into TWAIL-CL (TWAIL and international constitutional law) is highly original and thought-provoking. This is an inaugural work in this area.
Combining the terms rule of law and global capitalism seems sensible, even constructive, in parts of the world. In others, especially in former colonies, the combination can suggest continuing oppression and deepening dependency. Critical legal scholar Vijayashri Sripati explains why the latter response persists. She explores the constitutive global forces that animate law and politics in countries where most of the world's population resides. Her approach is analytical as well as polemical and intends to spark important debates.

Notă biografică

Vijayashri Sripati has served as a visiting scholar at the Trafficking and Social Justice Institute in the College of Health and Human Services at the University of Toledo, Ohio (2019-2023). Her work intersects three disciplines that developed in parallel during the 1990s: Western constitutional law, public international law, and international political economy. Sripati's Constitution-Making Under UN Auspices: Fostering Dependency in Sovereign Lands (OUP, 2020) and Making Globalization Happen: An Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege (OUP, 2024) have shown that, since the mid-1980s, the UN family has co-promoted the classical liberal constitution, engendering two concurrent but new disciplines: global studies and international constitutional law/constitutional political economy. By providing the parental or constitutional foundation for these disciplines, Sripati's work elaborates upon what drives global politico-economic governance: the international constitutional order.
