Summary:

"This text ... dwells on international economic institutions that to some extent determine the content and character of international economic law. The IMF, the World Bank, OED, OPEC, the Paris ad London Clubs of Creditors, the G8 and G20, regional economic blocs and other economic institutions that drive the evolution of international economic law are examined in detail by the text. International economic law principles like the most favoured nation principle, national treatment standard, rules of origin, free trade, foreign investment, loans and sundry other issues are examined ... showing how the interest of developed nations and international financial institutions sound through these legal issues. The book essentially views international economic law more with the eyes of a developing nation scholar than is commonly the case with mainstream texts on the subject."--Preface.
