Critics Review
“The international trade and investment architecture has been broken for decades. This bold volume charts the numerous ways in which its rules have magnified the power of northern interests and foreclosed on opportunities for human advancement by nations of the global south and east.” — Ilene Grabel, Distinguished University Professor, Josef Korbel School of International Studies, University of Denver, US

It is a useful contribution in that it synthesizes the issues into one eminently readable volume.” — Brooke Güven, Senior legal researcher at the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, US
