The Evolution Of Operational Policies And Procedures At International Financial Institutions: Normative Significance And Enforcement Potential, Daniel Bradlow, Andria Naude Fourie
Daniel D. Bradlow
The exact contours of international organizations’ (IO) responsibility have not yet been clearly defined. While IOs – and international financial institutions (IFIs) in particular – have in the past avoided drawing those contours in more certain terms, this position is slowly changing: IFIs have been changing expectations about their standards of conduct, as reflected in their evolving operational policies and procedures (OP&P). This report provides an overview of the content, formulation, adoption, amendment and enforcement of OP&P at multilateral development banks (MDB) (a subset of IFIs). It highlights the impact of three developments that are strengthening the normative significance and …
Reforming Global Economic Governance: A Strategy For Middle Powers In The G20, Daniel D. Bradlow
Reforming Global Economic Governance: A Strategy For Middle Powers In The G20, Daniel D. Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
In this paper I argue that middle powers that are members of the G20 can extract substantial benefit from their participation in the G20 if they have both a clear long term vision of global economic governance and a plan of action that is based on obtainable short term objectives. In the article I address four issues. The first is that the institutional arrangements for global economic governance will remain unstable until the current process of changes in the balance of global political and economic power plays itself out. The second is that, given the changing international power dynamics, the …

The Governance Of The Imf: The Need For Comprehensive Reform, Daniel Bradlow
The Governance Of The Imf: The Need For Comprehensive Reform, Daniel Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
This article argues that IMF's current governance arrangements suffer from being non responsive to key stakeholders, lack of accountability, non-representative decision making, lack of transparency, and poorly defined relations with other international organizations. These deficiencies have arisen because the IMF has failed to adapt its decision-making structure and procedures to its changing functions and role in the global economy. They have caused distortions in the IMF's relations with its member states, with non-state actors, and with other international organizations and problems with some of the IMF's interpretations of its articles. The article argues that the IMF cannot perform effectively until …
Operational Policies And Procedures And An Ombudsman, Daniel D. Bradlow
Operational Policies And Procedures And An Ombudsman, Daniel D. Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
This paper is about the problems with the administrative practices and procedures in the IMF. It argues that currently the IMF lacks administrative practices and procedures that are consistent with the requirements of good governance. There are 2 requirements for such administrative practices and procedures. The first is clearly articulated and publicly available standards that guide IMF staff in their work and that other stakeholders can utilize in measuring the performance of IMF staff. These standards should set out both the substantive and procedural requirements applicable to the operations of the IMF. The second is a mechanism through which IMF …
Reconciliation Financing: An Innovative Approach To Poverty, Inequality, And Social Conflict, Daniel D. Bradlow
Reconciliation Financing: An Innovative Approach To Poverty, Inequality, And Social Conflict, Daniel D. Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
This paper focuses on the problem of addressing historical injustices and raising finance for small scale revenue generating projects that benefit those victims of these past injustices who still lack access to jobs, services and opportunities. These projects always experience funding problems. They are considered both "too rich" for grant funding because they generate a stream of revenues but "too poor" for commercial funding because either they are too small or they generate an insufficient income stream to be attractive to commercial funders. In proposing a debt-based solution to these funding problems, the paper proposes 3 principles of "reconciliation financing".

The first is a brief description of the most recent summit, held on June 18-19, 2012 in Los Cabos, Mexico. The second part is a brief discussion of the criteria that will be used in this evaluation. The third part is an assessment of the G20 against …

Developing Country Debt Crises, International Financial Institutions, And International Law: Some Preliminary Thoughts, Daniel Bradlow
Developing Country Debt Crises, International Financial Institutions, And International Law: Some Preliminary Thoughts, Daniel Bradlow
Daniel D. Bradlow
While the question of how effectively the IFIs have performed their international economic, financial, social, environmental and developmental responsibilities in their work with these debtor countries has been extensively analyzed and debated, their compliance with their applicable international legal obligations has been less examined. The IFIs' responsibility in this regard, is based on their mandates, as defined in their Articles of Agreements, and general principles of customary international law. Their customary international legal obligations include upholding such principles as pacta sunt servanda and rebus sic stantibus and respecting the sovereignty of their member states. The thesis of this paper is …
