Opis

A political economy analysis that explains international criminal law's hegemonic status in the understanding of global justice.

Recenzje

'As states and scholars alike are debating whether international criminal law has been 'oversold',  Christine Schwöbel-Patel asks another, much more politically important and jurisprudentially generative question: how and why did we come to think of an entire legal field and even of global justice in terms of 'selling', 'branding' and 'investment'? Drawing from critical legal and marketing studies, this indispensable book reveals novel and unexamined dimensions of the profound, and profoundly destructive, influence of neoliberalism on international law. Those interested both in international criminal law and in law and political economy more broadly will do well to take note.' Ntina Tzouvala, Senior Lecturer, ANU College of Law
