Description

"A comprehensive analysis of the human right to development and its realistic application in an era of economic globalization, Aguirre provides a multidisciplinary overview of economic globalization and examines its challenges to the realization of human development. However, he does not simply identify the problem but engages it with these challenges and highlights the human rights opportunities presented by economic globalization and the international investment system." "The scope of this book and the approach to the subject is new. Economic globalization and the rise of corporate power through foreign investment has created rapid economic growth but has simultaneously fostered extreme inequality and underdevelopment that can undermine human rights. This has generated interest across many disciplines, including political science, international law, and economics. Activists, academics and development practitioners in many fields should also read this book."--Jacket.
