"Plunder" examines the dark side of the Rule of Law and explores
how it has been used as a powerful political weapon by Western
countries in order to legitimize plunder - the practice of violent
extraction by stronger political actors victimizing weaker
ones.Challenges traditionally held beliefs in the sanctity of the
Rule of Law by exposing its dark sideExamines the Rule of Law's
relationship with 'plunder' - the practice of violent extraction by
stronger political actors victimizing weaker ones - in the service
of Western cultural and economic dominationProvides global examples
of plunder: of oil in Iraq; of ideas in the form of Western patents
and intellectual property rights imposed on weaker peoples; and of
liberty in the United StatesDares to ask the paradoxical question -
is the Rule of Law itself illegal?
