摘要：
Making Globalization Happen: The Untold Story of Power, Profits, Privilege explains how, by whom, and for what purposes economic globalization was catalysed. Its effects on the Global South, and particularly South Asia are explored. Based on an innovative international constitutional political economy framework, the book examines how the Western classical liberal Constitution has shaped international law developments in this postcolonial era. The book narrates economic globalization comprehensively, giving its parental constitutional dimension that it lacked before. By linking constitutional globalization to United Nations (UN) Family–created agendas (peacebuilding; conflict prevention; human security; protection of civilians; sustainable development; global war on terrorism; ‘Women, Peace, and Security’; poverty reduction or ‘market-oriented development’; ending ‘conflict-related sexual violence’; and justice (climate, criminal, and so-called transitional)) it covers them accurately and comprehensively. It simultaneously provides the missing constitutional foundation for globalization from the perspective of Third World approaches to international constitutional law and the fields globalization has spawned: Global Studies and Law and Political Economy (LPE). With these ground-breaking insights, Making Globalization Happen clearly illustrates that Constitutional globalization was driven by the ‘UN Family’ and transnational capitalists for their benefit. Accordingly, ‘globalization’/‘international law’ from below proves useless in countering injustices caused by economic globalization or public international law. Thus, the book rips away the facade of UN Family–driven peace, justice, human rights, democracy, and development to expose it as a narrative of power, profit, and privilege for transnational capitalists, and one of debt, death, and despair for the Global South.
