Book Description
Hailing from across the globe, contributors offer expert insight into tax issues in China, Brazil, South Africa, India, and other developing countries. Following a thorough examination of current policy approaches to tax problems in developing nations, the writers conclude that new solutions are needed, and outline a number of groundbreaking ideas and proposals designed to mitigate many of the problems associated with tax law and economic development.
Professors, students, and researchers with an interest in tax, law, development, and globalization will find much to admire in this critical and groundbreaking addition to the literature.

Editorial Reviews
Review
–Michael J. Wasylenko, Syracuse University, US
‘On opening this volume, one is immediately struck by the impressive cast of contributors from six continents, as well as the inherent and contemporary interest of the interlinked topics covered.’
–Dominic De Cogan and Philip Miles, The Cambridge Law Journal
‘There is an important need for independent academic scholarship like that in this volume that takes into account the differing perspectives of developing countries and does not look for ”one size fits all” theories or prescriptions. . . The diverse group of legal scholars from six continents who have contributed to this volume critically address issues from perspectives not restricted to traditional tax policy conceptions and paradigms. As a result, this volume is rich with insights on new and old issues at the intersection of tax, law and development.’
–From the foreword by Stephen E. Shay, Harvard Law School, US
