Kenneth Anderson, Opinio Juris blog, October 2009 ...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.
Jacob Katz Cogan, International Law Reporter, October 2009 International Development Law: Rule of Law, Human Rights, and Global Finance provides a tightly interwoven, well-organized, multi-disciplinary approach to the complex legal issues underlying sustainable international development. Professor Sarkar provides an overarching view of the legal principles that constitute international development law in an easily understandable way. This book gives the reader new insights on the origins of global poverty, identifies legal impediments to long-term, sustainable economic growth, and provides a better understanding of the challenges faced by the international community in resolving global poverty issues.
Katie Lynn is the Electronic Services Librarian at the Wyoming State Law Library, AALL Spectrum There is a huge amount of historical and philosophical information packed into International Development Law, with smatterings of anthropological and sociological thoughts here and there, that provides a text covering the complex legal & financial issues involved in international development. And Sarkar does it in an easy to read, well-organized manner (the glossary, abbreviations list, and index are nothing to sneeze at either)...I would recommend this book for any academic or firm library, definitely, as an academic treatise as well as a helpful guide for practicing attorneys in international development law.

Cox International Law Center Case western Reserve University School of Law In this path-breaking work, Professor Rumu Sarkar expertly combines law, philosophy, political theory, and economic analysis with real world experience to establish for the first time a comprehensive foundation of substantive law principles of international development law. This meticulously documented work is sure to be the touchstone for all future writing in a subject area that is quickly emerging as one of the most important in international law.
James Crawford, Whewell Professor of International Law and Director of the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge This book is a valuable contribution to the literarture on a developing area of international law. Sarkar's work is thoughtful and well researched; it largely achieves the goal of bringing cohesion to a largely scattered topic.
