Description and Table of Contents
Description
In the wake of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the World Bank and the IMF, it is the view of the contributors to this volume that a review of the Bretton Woods institutions is urgently needed. The book presents practical, feasible suggestions for reform of the international financial bodies and the United Nations aid and trade agencies. Beginning with Sir Hans W. Singer's historical assessment of the subject, the contributors seek to implement in policy and practice the results of their academic research. Norman Girvan addresses the underlying dynamics between borrowing countries and donors; Reginald Herbold Green sets attainable trajectories in reforming the global economic institutions; Katarina Tomasevski argues for the institutionalization of Human Rights Impact Assessments and Lourdes Urdaneta-Ferran reviews statistics used and produced by the major international institutions.
