Opis

This book critically analyses existing accounts of the history of the relationship between international law and multinational corporations using four case studies: Firestone in Liberia, the Nuremberg trials, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, and the UNCTC code of conduct.

Recenzje

Lustig's volume is slim, very slim for a historical study—what an achievement, what a virtue. It is written engagingly, not quite in the conversational style of Clapham, but with utmost clarity and, above all, a story, a real story unfolds from chapter to chapter. It has wonderful momentum. And, importantly, it is not only the historical narrative that is of true interest, but it is abundantly relevant to any contemporary discourse of corporations and international law.
