International Law and Development in the Global South
This book provides contributions in international law, development, and international relations from a cross section of jurists and scholars including a justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria and a former Judge of the International Court of Justice at The Hague. The project, conceived as a festschrift in honor of Professor Christian Okeke, aims to amplify the voices and perspectives that are not often accorded the limelight in international legal discourse. Additionally, the contributors discuss such relevant issues as frozen conflicts in Eastern Europe, counter-terrorism and cyber-security in Central Asia, and judicial contrivance in African countries. Bridging the gap between political science and legal scholarship, the book presents an interdisciplinary perspective on the emergence of an international rule of law and development. It also provides much needed empirical research on the implications of multi-level governance and global legal pluralism for the rule of law beyond the nation state. This book will be highly relevant to scholars, academics, researchers, and students in the fields of international relations, law, and development.
Contemporary Issues on Public International and Comparative Law

Although one book of Liber Amicorum cannot address all the important issues in the vast arena of international law, these essays provide a rich and lucid underst...

Race and Democracy in the Americas
Race and Democracy in the Americas examines dimensions of the comparative dynamics of race and ethnicity, with a directed focus on the Americas, most particularly Brazil and the United States. Brazil and the United States are two countries in the Americas that have been major hosts for the African diaspora. Both countries experienced prolonged enslavement of Africans and both now claim to be beacons of democracy for much of the developing world. Both Afro-Brazilians and African Americans have fielded major liberation movements against racism and oppression yet both groups continue to experience considerable residual racial discrimination and displacement. Brazil and the U.S. remain racialize...
대전환
미국 세기의 화려한 막이 오른 1945년 태어난 앨프리드 맥코이는 예일대학에서 박사 학위를 준비하던 중 우연히 베트남전쟁에 파병된 미군 병사들 사이의 헤로인 중독 문제를 연구하게 되었다. 이 과정에서 일부 병사들의 일탈 행위로 알려졌던 약물 중독이 CIA를 주축으로 하는 미국 정부와 동남아시아 군벌, 게릴라 조직 등이 겹겹이 얽힌 거대한 사업의 한 부분이었고, 또한 이것이 21세기에 이르기까지 미국이 전 세계에서 벌이는 비밀공작의 기원을 형성하고 있음이 드러났다. 이로써 시작된 맥코이의 연구는 지난 40여 년간 동...
