This book investigates the systemic ways in which international economic law perpetuates global poverty, inequality, and dispossession rather than serving as a neutral framework for development. The authors, John Linarelli, Margot E. Salomon, and M. Sornarajah, utilize a critical legal studies approach to challenge the prevailing neoliberal orthodoxy. By examining the historical and structural foundations of trade, investment, and finance, they argue that current legal regimes are designed to protect private power at the expense of human rights and social justice.
