This chapter analyses the apparent failure of the post-war international development project in the context of the operation of international legal regime. It argues that the division between the political and the economic, reflected by the distinction between the Dumbarton Oaks and Bretton Woods systems have resulted in fragmentation and depoliticization at the international level. One consequence of these effects is the transformation of the development project into a form of neocolonialism.

It argues that the division between the political and the economic, reflected by the distinction between the Dumbarton Oaks and Bretton Woods systems have resulted in fragmentation and depoliticization at the international level. One consequence of these effects is the transformation of the development project into a form of neocolonialism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
