"an insightful and worthy addition to this literature. ... scholars with a genuine interest in sovereign debt will appreciate a collection that provides a robust and impassioned critique of the demonstrable failure of recent responses to sovereign debt. In this respect, the edited collection serves as a vital addition to an ongoing debate of great importance." -- Dimitrios Kagiaros, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation

"Bantekas and Lumina, together with an excellent team of global experts, review the link between how the accumulation of sovereign debt violates human rights. ... this OUP title offers modern observations which will be of interest to a very wide readership." -- Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers, and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chamber
