It is with great honour, joy, and gratitude that I have received an international human rights award for my research on the intellectual history of economic and social human rights.
My thanks to wonderful colleagues and for the excellent collaboration with Cambridge U.P.!
We’re delighted to award the 2025 James J. Busuttil Prize and Medal for Human Rights to Prof Christian O. Christiansen for his book 'In Defense of Economic & Social Human Rights' (CUP, 2025).
Congrats to @chrochr!

Branko Milanovic's recommendations on Global Neoliberalism
If interested in global neoliberalism, its origin, how it existed in intellectual shadows for a long time, then came to power, and is now on its way out, I would suggest reading the following six books.
Samuel Moyn, "Not enough"
From welfare in one country to global poverty alleviation...and now where?

“Christiansen’s book is, for the students of development economics and international relations, and people like me who study world inequalities, enjoyable and very well documented.”
Very pleased with this positive review of my Designing Global Economic Equality by @BrankoMilan
