Reviews

...this book makes a pleasant read for anyone interested in the intersection of sovreign finance and human rights. Perhaps more importantly, it is a laudable undertaking in terms of its programmatic aspiration to elevate human rights on the priority scale of policy making with regards to sovreign insolvency. -- Vassilis Paliouras Journal of International Banking Law ...the book is highly valuable...[it] is welcome and certainly succeeds in keeping its promise to contribute to a better understanding of the colossal encounter of sovereign financing and human rights ... -- Carlo Focarelli Italian Yearbook of International Law
