Recenzje

Combining the terms rule of law and global capitalism seems sensible, even constructive, in parts of the world. In others, especially in former colonies, the combination can suggest continuing oppression and deepening dependency. Critical legal scholar Vijayashri Sripati explains why the latter response persists. She explores the constitutive global forces that animate law and politics in countries where most of the world's population resides. Her approach is analytical as well as polemical and intends to spark important debates.

Vijayashri Sripati has served as a visiting scholar at the Trafficking and Social Justice Institute in the College of Health and Human Services at the University of Toledo, Ohio (2019-2023). Her work intersects three disciplines that developed in parallel during the 1990s: Western constitutional law, public international law, and international political economy. Sripati's Constitution-Making Under UN Auspices: Fostering Dependency in Sovereign Lands (OUP, 2020) and Making Globalization Happen: An Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege (OUP, 2024) have shown that, since the mid-1980s, the UN family has co-promoted the classical liberal constitution, engendering two concurrent but new disciplines: global studies and international constitutional law/constitutional political economy. By providing the parental or constitutional foundation for these disciplines, Sripati's work elaborates upon what drives global politico-economic governance: the international constitutional order.
