Hardback. Condition: New. In light of recent significant changes to the global order, The Unmaking of Special Rights explores an often-forgotten aspect of these power shifts: special rights for developing countries. Written by a group of esteemed experts, it analyzes when and how special rights for developing countries have evolved in the context of global power shifts.This informative book outlines how, since decolonization, several global regimes have granted 'disadvantaged' members exemptions, yet the rise of Brazil, India, China, and other countries has led to pressure to adjust these rights to new economic realities.

Providing in-depth comparative case studies, it will also be of interest to practitioners and policymakers working in international development organizations.…
