Details

The universal promise of contemporary international law has long inspired countries of the Global South to use it as an important field of contestation over global inequality.

The post-war wave of decolonisation ended in the creation of the developmental nation-state, the claim to permanent sovereignty over natural resources in the 1950s and 1960s was transformed into the protection of foreign investors, and the promotion of the rule of international law in the early 1990s has brought about the rise of the rule of law as a development strategy in the present day.

Contents:: 1. Introduction; 2. Inaugurating a new rationality; 3. From decolonisation to developmental nation state; 4. From permanent sovereignty to investor protection; 5. From the rule of international law to the internationalisation of the rule of law; 6. Conclusion.
