This book examines the everyday functioning and impact of international law and the development project, particularly across cities in emergent nations.

Recenzje

'A fascinating book. Law shapes the worlds we inhabit, both locally and globally, and Eslava shows us how by mapping the formal and informal arrangements that generate urban space. The surprise is the significance of international law in the most local of places. A terrific case study of law in development.' David Kennedy, Harvard University, Massachusetts, and author of Of War and Law
