- This output required gathering and analysing two decades of campaign literature, spread across countries and different social movements, on the adverse impacts of policies adopted by international organisations like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organisation and the United Nations on people in the Global South. It involved examining legal and policy documents of international organisations on different economic and political questions and map shared theoretical and conceptual grounds between the two apparent adversaries. Drawing on ‘ground-up’ research and comparing shared conceptual grounds, the 255-page book re-conceptualises human rights as co-constituted by and contingent on property rights.
