Description

Resisting Economic Globalization: Critical Theory and International Investment Law by David Schneiderman explores the impact of international investment law on global economic governance. This book examines the tensions between state sovereignty and transnational legal constraints, arguing that states remain crucial sites for resisting and rolling back neoliberalism's influence. Schneiderman's analysis draws on critical theory to shed light on recent episodes of resistance to investment law edicts, testing contemporary hypotheses about power, states, and social movements. By exploring these encounters, the book reveals the mechanisms for change in transnational legality and provides new insights into the foundations of international law. This thought-provoking work is a valuable contribution to ongoing debates about globalization, law, and politics.
