:
In this pioneer compilation of academic literature on the International Covenant on the Right to Development, including some of the leading experts on the subject, the authors delve at length into the central enquiry on how and to what extent the Covenant will, as a binding instrument of international law, shape the global balance of power. Envisaged to be incorporated in the international bill of human rights, the analysis on the various component elements leads to the conclusive argument that, once in force, the Covenant on the Right to Development will have major implications for how the international order is structured and how development is henceforth pursued.

The Worldwide Depression, 1929-1939 /
:
The Great Depression affected the whole world, but most studies of this crucial phenomenon have only dealt with the industrialized countries and have neglected the peasants of Asia, Africa and Latin America. The present study adopts a global point of view and covers the fate of the peasantry at the periphery of the world market in addition to that of the nations of Europe and North America. It also deals with the political consequences of the economic decline and its aftermath. The tragedy of the international gold standard, the problems of agricultural production and the recoil of global credit are discussed in detail. The experiences of all major countries have been outlined in specific chapters. Recent research work has been summarized and the blind spots of earlier economic analyses have been highlighted. A comprehensive annotated bibliography is added to the text. This volume is invaluable for the scholar of Modern Economic History.
