Sarkar: International Development Law

Rumu Sarkar (Africa Center for Strategic Studies) has published International Development Law: Rule of Law, Human Rights, and Global Finance (Oxford Univ. Press 2009). Here's the abstract:
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.
