Consequences of the fragmentation of global environmental governance
This article uses a broad framework to analyse the fragmentation of global governance architectures, and explores the consequences of such fragmentation with specific regard to the stringency of safeguards standards in the financing of large infrastructure projects, using the example of large dams. Drawing on original research, the author shows differences in safeguards stringency at the level of institutional policies, then at the level of proje…
Practical Steps to Help Countries Overcome the Resource Curse
A RECENT SPECIAL ISSUE OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE (VOL. 17, NO. 2) EXAMINED various dimensions of the so-called resource curse phenomenon, which describes situations in which extractive resources (oil, gas, and minerals) cause difficulties for public financial management and macroeconomic policy or, in the worst case, for society at large through problems such as prevalence of corruption or even risk of violence. The special edition also mentions appro…
Assessing, mitigating and monitoring environmental risks of large infrastructure projects in foreign financing decisions
This article assesses the progress — or otherwise — that has been made in recent years by public financing institutions (PFIs) in the application of environmental impact assessment mitigation and monitoring to large dam projects they finance.

Although the study uses financing for dams as an exam ple, the issue has much larger applicability. In fact, all devel…
