The dominant conceptions of development and the right thereto have been confined to narrow, sectoral interpretations focusing on economic matrices and collective entities such as the state or peoples. This book delimits these key notions of the public order of the 21st century in an entirely new fashion. Drawing on fundamental precepts of policy-oriented jurisprudence, this book offers a comprehensive and systematic study and redefinition of development and the right to development guided by the goal of maximum access by all to the processes of shaping and sharing of all things humans value, including, empirically, aspirations to power, wealth, well-being, affection, enlightenment, skills, respect, and rectitude. This new paradigm of development offers fertile ground for legal and policy responses designed to bring about a public order of human dignity in all parts of the planet. The book was awarded the Society of Policy Scientists 2012 Harold D. Lasswell Prize.

"’Development in International Law’ stands to reorient conventional thinking about what it means to help every country and person develop. Not content to merely show the limitations of past decisions that promoted a narrow conception of development, Dr. Qerimi proposes international policies that focus on all human rights to more fully implement his broad conception of development. An enriching read for every scholar, policy-maker and lawyer interested in this field."
