Shivji, who was a professor of law, has made immense contributions, particularly in the field of labour law.
He has more than 85 publications, six monographs, 30 chapters in various books and 36 chapters in various publications, to his credit.
As part of the retirement ceremony held at the university’s main campus, his latest book, titled Let the people speak: Tanzania down the road to neo-liberalism, was launched by the UN Habitat Executive Director, Professor Anna Tibaijuka.
