This collection investigates whether international law can be restructured to address the historical and systemic inequities faced by Third World nations. Edited by Richard Falk, Balakrishnan Rajagopal, and Jacqueline Stevens, the volume assembles a diverse group of scholars to critique the Eurocentric foundations of global legal frameworks. The authors argue that traditional international law often functions as a tool of imperial power, and they propose alternative strategies to integrate postcolonial perspectives into the future of human rights, economic governance, and state sovereignty.
