The World Bank, Asian Development Bank and Human Rights: Developing Standards of Transparency, Participation and Accountability by Sanae Fujita
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1849804249 | 352 pages | PDF | 1,5 MB
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.

Matthias Fink, Stephan Loidl, Richard Lang, "Community-based Entrepreneurship and Rural Development: Creating Favourable Conditions for Small Businesses in Central Europe"
English | ISBN: 0415614872, 1138792233 | 2012 | 257 pages | PDF | 2 MB
How can municipalities in Central Europe create favourable conditions for local business? What and how can municipalities learn from each other? How can each individual in the local area contribute? And what requirements have to be met before know-how can successfully be transferred on a communal level?
To answer all these questions, the authors of this book draw on results from a six-year research programme and comprehensively discuss the manifold opportunities, restrictions and prerequisites of establishing favourable conditions for small and medium enterprises in rural municipalities in Central Europe.

EU International Agreements: An Analysis of Direct Effect and Judicial Review Pre- and Post-Lisbon By Nadine Zipperle
English | PDF | 2017 | 230 Pages | ISBN : 3319640771 | 2.44 MB
This book provides an analysis of the institutional and constitutional effects of EU international agreements, with a particular focus on their potential effects on private parties. The European Union has entered into a number of international agreements that raise serious fundamental rights concerns due to a lack of parliamentary and judicial scrutiny.
The book addresses these issues in the context of developments contained in the Lisbon Treaty, focusing on primary and secondary sources, including German/French scholarship, as well as EU and national case law.

Agricultural Law: Current Issues from a Global Perspective By Mariagrazia Alabrese, Margherita Brunori, Silvia Rolandi, Andrea Saba
English | PDF | 2017 | 388 Pages | ISBN : 3319647555 | 5.47 MB
This book focuses on the social and environmental issues being addressed by agricultural law within the current globalised system.
What is agricultural law? Agricultural regulations concern and affect essential human needs and values that must be dealt with by pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated global approach. By tracking the developments in this context, this book explores the new challenges that agricultural law needs to address in order to frame emerging dilemmas.
International governance of natural resources and their role in addressing food insecurity is the object of the first Part of the volume, which deals with sustainable agriculture and agro-ecosystem services in connection with the food security issue.
The second Part focuses on the regulation of food as the main product of agricultural activity, and explores the answers that the law can provide in order to accommodate consumers’ interests and concerns (inter alia, novel foods, animal welfare, direct sales and e-commerce).
The third Part examines the social, environmental and legal consequences of a renewed interest in agricultural investments. Further, it analyses the evolution and the interplay between different legal systems with regard to land tenure, environmental concerns and investments in agriculture.
