  • Critical Introduction to Law

    Wade Mansell, Belinda Meteyard et al.BOOKCritical Introduction to Law2015

    This book challenges the usual introductions to the study of law. It argues that law is inherently political and reflects the interests of the few even while presenting itself as neutral. It considers law as ideology and as politics, and critically assesses its contribution to the creation and maintenance of a globalized and capitalist world. The clarity of the arguments are admirably suited to provoking discussions of the role of law in our cont…

  • John Bolton and the United States' Retreat from International Law

    Open AccessWade Mansell, Emily HaslamARTICLESocial & Legal Studies2005Cited by: 3References: 8

    This article focuses upon the writings of John R. Bolton who was for four years US Under-Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security. He is currently the US Ambassador to the United Nations. His position with regard to international law is, at least for non-Americans, extraordinary, but also extraordinarily important since it resonates with the views of many in the current Bush administration.

  • Goodbye to All That? The Rule of Law, International Law, the United States, and the Use of Force

    Open AccessWade MansellARTICLEJournal of Law and Society2004

  • Why Bother about a Right to Development

    Wade Mansell, Joanne ScottARTICLEJournal of Law and Society1994Cited by: 2

    The idea of international law is often troublesome for domestic lawyers. Suffering from a lack of applicable sanctions, distinguishing itself from politics only with the greatest difficulty, and using an international court which requires the consent of the parties before being seized with issues, international law has a very different 'feel' from the taught orthodoxies of domestic law. If this is true of international law in general, how much mo…

  • Legal Aspects of International Debt

    Wade MansellARTICLEJournal of Law and Society1991

    continue extracting wealth from the poorest countries. This miracle, for it is surely that, has allowed the replacement of expensive gun-boat diplomacy and costly imperial administration, by legal institutions which, while alien to many of those called upon to respect them, have effectively enforced 'agreements' which have ensured the inability of the poor to better their lot, and, indeed, very often the destruction of the possibility of life its…
