Development and Human Rights solidifies Oestreich's reputation as a leader in the deep study of international organizations. This important contribution to the analysis of international organizations beyond the global level carefully illustrates how international organizations act intrusively in, and independently of, states, while simultaneously navigating resistance within states. It demonstrates the necessity - and difficulty - of maintaining a connection
between economic, social and cultural rights and civil and political rights to further transformative development."
