Excellent- More about The Limits of Law and Development: Neoliberalism, Governance and Social Justice
The book questions the usefulness of the "law and development" concept and suggests focusing on social injustices like patriarchy, poverty, human rights violations, exploitation, and global heating.

The book delves into the well-established field of 'law and development,' posing a thought-provoking question: has the concept of development and the discourses surrounding it become outdated and irrelevant? Contributors raise the intriguing possibility of shifting our focus away from these amorphous and contentious concepts towards addressing social injustices such as patriarchy, poverty, human rights violations, the exploitation of indigenous peoples, and the looming threat of global heating. If we abandoned the notion of development, would we resort to another equally problematic term to replace a concept that, despite its flaws, serves as a widely understood shorthand?
To explore these questions, the contributors employ a comprehensive analytical approach, drawing from historical and contemporary case studies. They examine the intricate connections between conventional academic approaches to law and development, neoliberal governance, and activism. By scrutinizing these relationships, the book offers valuable insights into the dynamics and complexities of law and development in the contemporary world.
This book will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars, including those engaged in the study of development, international law, international economic law, governance and politics, and international relations. Its multidisciplinary approach and comprehensive analysis make it an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand the evolving landscape of law and development in the global context.
