Book SynopsisThis book investigates the strengths and weaknesses – in terms of transparency and compliance with the democratic principle – of Bretton Woods Institutions, considering the most important innovations from the original framework achieved through the introduction of independent accountability and complaint mechanisms (the Inspection Panel and Independent Evaluation Office), but also due to relevant reforms in the internal governance of the International Monetary Fund and the new financial assistance tools. One of its main focuses is on evaluating the socio-economic impact of conditionality in the countries requiring financial assistance, acknowledging the need to strengthen social protection policies in the adjustment programs. In addition, emphasis is given to the effects of the “constitutionalization” of the Washington Consensus in the European Union, with the establishment of the so-called “Berlin-Brussels-Frankfurt Consensus.”Table of ContentsPart I - The Governance and the Reforms in Progress.- Part II - The Constitutionalization of the “Washington Consensus” in the European Union.- Part III - Accountability and Independent Complaint Mechanisms.- Part IV - Conditionality and Socio Economic Impact.- Part V - The Impact of Bretton Woods Institutions on Civil Society.

Book SynopsisWhat is the status of indigenous religious rights in the world today? Despite important legal advances in the protection of indigenous religious beliefs and practices at the international and national levels, there are still many obstacles to the full implementation of these provisions. Using a unique large-scale comparative approach, this book aims to identify the fundamental issues that characterize the law of indigenous religions in several countries, as well as certain avenues that may prove useful in state implementation of the provisions of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples regarding practice, promotion, transmission, protection, and access to spiritual heritage.Table of ContentsForeword Introduction  Claude Gélinas, Sébastien Lebel-Grenier and Raphaël Mathieu Legault-Laberge The Pachamama, the Trojan Horse of an Indigenous Ontological Diplomacy at the Convention of Biological Diversity?  Ingrid Hall Spiritual, Religious or Cultural?
