Schneiderman: Resisting Economic Globalization: Critical Theory and International Investment Law

David Schneiderman (Univ. of Toronto - Law) has published Resisting Economic Globalization: Critical Theory and International Investment Law (Palgrave Macmillan 2013). Here's the abstract:

This book is an inquiry into the ways by which citizens and states may be able to undo some of these constraints imposed by transnational legality.
