Emma Luce Scali is Lecturer in Law at Birmingham City University and Roma Tre University, where she teaches, among others, a course on the 'crisis' of human rights. Her current research interests and publications centre around human rights, sovereign financing and the global economic order.
Summary
The book will be of interest to scholars in international law, human rights, socio-legal studies, political science and international relations, as well as to national and international policy makers. It also represents a valuable resource for postgraduate and advanced-level graduate classes, particularly in international law and human rights.
Foreword
Argues that the 'neoliberalisation' of international and EU law has been advanced in the wake of the Eurozone debt crisis.
Additional text
'Should and can international human rights law challenge neoliberalism's dominion exercised through sovereign debt? The answer that Scali's book provides is a convincing “yes”. This hope is masterfully backed by theoretical arguments underpinning the political and technical potential of economic and social rights in the debt realm as well as by empirical analysis of the Greek debt tragedy.' Juan Pablo Bohoslavsky, Former United Nations Independent Expert on Debt and Human Rights 2014-2020
