Rumu Sarkar, International Development Law

OUP just sent along a review copy (note, per the FTC, free merchandise from OUP!!). The book is Rumu Sarkar, International Development Law: Rule of Law, Human Rights, & Global Finance. This isn’t a review – I have only read the first chapter, and I am pretty certain I will find places both to agree and disagree.  But I am finding it highly compelling reading, partly because I have a strong and long interest in development and development finance issues, mostly through my pro bono work.  Actually, let me be stronger than this, even on the basis of a chapter and a half – if you have pretty much any interest in this intersection of topics, or newly emerging international legal field, however you want to put it, I think you will have to take a look at this book.
