By focusing on legal capacity building in three emerging powers, Brazil, India, and China, Gregory Shaffer, Chancellor’s Professor of Law and Political Science at the University of California, Irvine, provides a superb legal explanation of the increasingly pluralizing international economic legal order. The book squarely resolves the seeming paradox of the current liberal international economic order, namely, the US, not the emerging powers, becoming the revisionist power and challenging the legitimacy and efficacy of the international trade regime that it helped to create.
