Beskrivning

In Global Jurisprudential Apartheid in the Twenty-First Century: Universalism and Particularism in International Law, the contributors argue that the world is witnessing the formation of a global jurisprudential apartheid despite the promotion of democracy, equality, human rights, and humanitarianism. Examining organisations such as international criminal courts, the World Trade Organisation, the United Nations Security Council, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank, the contributors unpack the challenges of global jurisprudential apartheid. In particular, they analyse the ways in which these organizations hold and contribute to the increasing inequalities between the Global North and the Global South. Ultimately, Global Jurisprudential Apartheid in the Twenty-First Century shows that globalisation is a variant of the apartheid era particularism and not universalism, working to advantage the Global North while disadvantaging the Global South under the pretense of humanitarianism.

Recensioner i media

In its effort to investigate an under-explored but critical area, the post-colonial global apartheid regime, this book is a monumental work of scholarship. Bringing together an impressive group of African scholars, this book weaves together insights and analyses of almost every manageable post-colonial global apartheid issue, resulting in a thorough and essential guide to African leaders’ ability to address development challenges. In terms of substantive scope, geographic reach, and diversity of insight, it is quite simply staggering. Its analyses of the contemporary legal, political, and socioeconomic challenges facing a number of sub-Saharan African jurisdictions is unsurpassed in originality and rigor. This timely collection will be an essential cornerstone of every law and development scholar’s book collection for many years to come.
