Recenzii

Brings us hope and confidence to fight against injustice and towards democratic and just development planning.
Compelling and insightful.
I recommend this book to both scholars and practitioners of international sustainable development law and policy.
It is a rare thing indeed when an academic book has me anxiously turning the pages waiting to see what's going to happen next ( I include my own in this, of course!). This might be a slight exaggeration, but there are many components in Demanding Accountability that are also found in the best airport novels: rich versus poor; international conspiracy; backroom bargaining; corruption; murder; death threats; and so on. Unfortunately, this is not a novel. It is a well researched and documented account of the real tragedies that follow on from ill-conceived development projects and the stories of ordinary citizens (and some not so ordinary, such as the Dalai Lama) trying to hold the World Band to account.
Indispensable reading for anybody interested in transparency and accountability in international institutions.
