Abstract

Independent accountability mechanisms (IAMs), along with the environmental and social policies of multilateral development banks (MDBs) that they are charged with ensuring, exemplify the recent trend towards reliance upon informal, quasi-legal mechanisms, rules and standards of transnational environmental and social governance, which is often characterised as 鈥榞lobal administrative law鈥�. While IAMs, as quasi-regulatory institutional governance mechanisms, would appear to be a creation of the global administrative law phenomenon, they also apply, and may even generate, the key good governance principles (transparency, stakeholder participation, accessibility, reviewability, rule of law, proportionality, human rights, etc.) that form the procedural and substantive core of the values reflected by manifestations of global administrative law. Therefore, it is important that those engaged in the utilisation, operation or institutional development of IAMs should understand global administrative law as a framework for analysing and reflecting upon what it is that they do.

Professor McIntyre has authored and co-authored the following chapters in the collection:
