The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are two of the
world's major institutions conducting development projects. Both
banks recognize the importance of transparency, participation and
accountability. Responding to criticisms and calls for reform, they
have developed policies that are designed to protect these values
for people affected by their projects. This original and timely
book examines these policies, including those recently revised,
through the prism of human rights, and makes suggestions for
further improvement. It also analyzes the development of the Banks'
stance to human rights in general.This unique book contains
valuable and deeply insightful information drawn from extensive
face-to-face interviews with relevant actors, including key
personnel from both banks, consultants to the banks and members of
civil society organizations. It expands the scope of
research/discussion on the human rights obligation of International
financial institutions that will prove insightful for both
academics and students. Practitioners will gain a great deal from
the detail given on the standards of transparency, participation
and accountability and their applicability to the day-to-day
operations of development institutions. Contents: Foreword by Paul
