"Taxation, Human Rights, and Sustainable Development: Global South Perspectives is a timely and essential contribution to the fields of taxation, human rights, and development studies. It challenges us to rethink our understanding of taxation as a mere fiscal tool and instead view it as a fundamental mechanism for promoting social justice and human dignity. The editors and contributors have successfully created a cohesive narrative that interlinks historical analysis with contemporary challenges, providing a roadmap for future research and policy development."Chrispas Nyombi, Professor of International Commercial Law, University of Derby, REF Lead (Unit 18 - Law) and Co-Head of the Centre for Justice, Law and Society."Importantly [the book] fills a research gap by putting forward global south voices on the issue of tax, fiscal policy and human rights, utilising the language of sustainable development. [...] Several of the themes discussed in this book would be essential reading for government actors, as they grapple with the balance between taxation and the responsibility to build infrastructure, the balance between taxation and digital inclusion, the response to pressures from global organisations and the demands within territory. It serves as an essential reading for the complex terrain of tax and sustainable development, but it offers solutions and insights which could plot a way forward."Adaeze Okoye, Principal Lecturer, School of Business and Law, University of Brighton.
