Reviews

Darrow... conveys a true mastery over the dense technocratic and economistic jargon of the IFIs, offering a powerful translation of how human rights can be 'enabled' in the IFIs' operations. Susan Matthews Leiden Journal of International Law Vol 19/1, July 2006 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 July 2004 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 August 2004
