Law and Geopolitics: Policy Perspectives

By Femi D Ojumu

More than ever before, the question of the raging volatilities between the consistent application of the law, the Machiavellian phenomenon of might is right, ditto the consequential power disequilibrium, and the inexorable nexus with international relations, exercises the minds of rational people across developed and developing countries. That foundational postulation is anchored on practical challenges which continues to elude statesmen, international lawyers, global thought leaders, seasoned diplomats, policy experts and others.

The fundamental question bifurcates: does one simply give up because fixing the world's problems is just too onerous? No Should the emphasis be on grasping the nettle, overriding strategic national interests notwithstanding, by doing the utmost and aiming for a rules-based global order? Absolutely

This book, building on the global success of the first volume by the same author, critically analyses pertinent interwoven geopolitical and geostrategic thematics of the United States' economic and military pre-eminence, contested globalization, multi-literalism and unilateralism; Chinese ascendancy on the global stage; the weaponization of tariffs and the existential challenges it heralds for global trade and international supply chains.
