Reviews

By balancing a legal academic analysis with a rigorous evaluation of policy proposals for the integration of human rights at the Bank and Fund, Darrow appeals to a broad audience of policymakers, international legal experts, and human rights advocates. He bridges a gap between theory and practice in the existing literature on the law of international institutions. -- Galit A. Sarfaty * American Journal of International Law *
Alongside popular critiques of the IFIs, a body of academic commentary on their activities, particularly in relation to environmental and human rights issues, has been growing..[this] is the most significant recent contribution to these efforts, and a worthwhile one...One of the great strengths of this book is its engagement with the issues in a concrete and practical manner. . .The book will be of greatest interest to students and academics concerned with human rights and/or the IFIs but it also deserves wider attention.. * New Zealand Law Journal *
