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
The book explores the broad range of legal, personal, social, political and historical foundations of international law. The book is a collective effort of qualified authors- law school deans and professors, national and international court judges, young and old international law scholars and government lawyers from varying legal cultures across the oceans of the world, representing diverse legal philosophical and corresponding practices bringing their stories to life, telling tales helpful for those well-acquainted with the issues. 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...
Homeland Security and Terrorism in Nigeria
As Nigeria grapples with critical homeland security challenges, Homeland Security and Terrorism in Nigeria: Crises, Climate Change, and Counterterrorism analyzes these crises to deepen understanding of the Nigerian security dilemma and to seek pathways to a more secure homeland. This book examines the nature and dimensions of the security challenges, focusing on terrorism and its stranglehold on Nigeria’s peaceful existence. Leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach, this study combines a range of perspectives cutting across criminology, political science, sociology, history, international relations, and strategic studies to dissect the subject and problem. Sheriff Folarin, Abiodun Raufu, Godwyns Agbude, and the contributors explore the origins, dynamics, and character of terrorism in Nigeria. They also examine the changing nature of Nigeria’s security architecture as well as adaptive coping mechanisms and counterterror measures in the homeland. This book is a treasure for strategic and security analysts, Nigerian and African security governance scholars, political scientists, and other students and scholars interested in researching Nigeria.
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...
International Investment Law Reform
This book offers contemporary assessment of the challenges facing international investment law and proposes innovative solutions for reform. The most controversial issue in international investment law is on the settlement of investor-state disputes and its implications on national regulatory autonomy. This book recognises that current literature in international investment law fails to adequately incorporate diverse perspectives. Therefore, it interrogates the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and their relationship with international investment policies of developing countries, particularly in Africa where there has been a marked increase in investor-state disputes. Despite exis...

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...
In the Shadows of the American Century
The award-winning historian delivers a “brilliant and deeply informed” analysis of American power from the Spanish-American War to the Trump Administration (New York Journal of Books). In this sweeping and incisive history of US foreign relations, historian Alfred McCoy explores America’s rise as a world power from the 1890s through the Cold War, and its bid to extend its hegemony deep into the twenty-first century. Since American dominance reached its apex at the close of the Cold War, the nation has met new challenges that it is increasingly unequipped to handle. From the disastrous invasion of Iraq to the failure of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, fracturing military alliances, and the blundering nationalism of Donald Trump, McCoy traces US decline in the face of rising powers such as China. He also offers a critique of America’s attempt to maintain its position through cyberwar, covert intervention, client elites, psychological torture, and worldwide surveillance.
