Overview

Despite the tremendous progress in the development of scientific knowledge, the understanding of the causes of poverty and inequality, and the role of politics and governance in addressing modern challenges, issues such as social inclusion, poverty, marginalization and despair continue to be a reality across the world - and most often impact Indigenous Peoples. At the Margins of Globalization explores how Indigenous Peoples are affected by globalization, and the culture of individual choice without responsibility that it promotes, while addressing what can be done about it. Though international trade and investment agreements are unlikely to go away, the inclusion of Indigenous rights provisions has made a positive difference. This book explains how these provisions operate and how to build from their limited success.

[The book is] a compelling blend of the author's diverse experiences working with many indigenous communities and foremost international financial institutions including the World Bank Group and its affiliate institution, the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes.' Jide James-Eluyode, Journal of International Economic Law
