The World Bank's Lawyers

The Life of International Law as Institutional Practice

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The World Bank's Lawyers gives an original socio-legal account of the evolving institutional life of international law. It tells the previously untold story of the World Bank's legal department. This is a story of people and the practices they cling to and how these practices gain traction, or fail to do so, in an international bureaucracy.
