Critics Review
… highly original and immensely rich … Drawing on international economic law, human rights doctrine, normative theory, and an astonishingly thorough analysis of relevant regional and domestic law, Professor McCrudden provides a rewarding treatment of the challenges associated with the transnational and comparative problems of regulating governmental contracting … by undertaking such a comprehensive and analytically sophisticated study, Professor McCrudden is helping to forge what will likely become a major new field at the intersection of international law, social policy, and governance … [he] has taken a major theoretical step in helping us understand the challenges and opportunities that will arise as international law grapples with the public problems posed by partially privatized nation states. Prof. Oren Gross, University of Minnesota Law School (ASIL Awards Committee Report)
