Description

Book Synopsis
Breaking with widespread scepticism, King comprehensively restates the doctrine of odious debt and uses contemporary international and domestic law to redefine the doctrine in a way suitable for judicial application. This groundbreaking book is essential reading for practising lawyers, scholars, and development and human rights workers.

Trade Review
'The Doctrine of Odious Debt in International Law: A Restatement is both substantively compelling and methodologically adventurous and, what is more, is published at a timely moment. In recent years, both the UN General Assembly and UNCTAD have attempted to re-organize the law and practice around sovereign debt relief. In this broader setting, King's monograph adds considerable clarity to an important aspect of the vexing issue of sovereign debts and their treatment in international law.' Jan Klabbers, Netherlands International Law Review

Table of Contents
