"International Law and the World Bank's Conflict Resolution System" discussed at the InfoShop on March 29, 2007, 12:00 noon in JB1-080

InfoShop  and  World Bank Group Staff Association
Invite you to a panel discussion on

International Law and the World Bank's Conflict Resolution System

International conventions establish that a minimum standard for due process
before the law provides access to a competent, independent and impartial
tribunal in the determination of a person?s rights, the right to an appeal and
to legal representation.  World Bank and UN anti-corruption programs that
address this issue also recognize an independent judiciary as the cornerstone of
the rule of law in any setting.  But like all intergovernmental organizations,
the World Bank itself suffers from a structural conflict of interest in matters
of internal justice.  Because the Bank enjoys sovereign immunity in labor and
employment disputes, this shortcoming is especially critical.  The internal
justice system at the Bank lacks organizational independence and as a result, in
a dispute, management can easily become both the defendant and the judge.

This panel will explore the issues that must be addressed by an effective reform
of the Conflict Resolution System, drawing on recommendations made by
specialists in international law.  The need to establish a fair, autonomous and
credible justice system to which staff members may appeal for relief is
increasingly pressing.  Panelists will discuss questions of confidentiality in
investigations, whistleblower and witness protection, and the ways in which an
autonomous and impartial hearing can be established even when the justice system
is internal to an institution.

"Global Governance Reform: Breaking the Stalemate" discussed at the InfoShop on April 2, 2007, at 12:00 pm in J1-050

InfoShop and The Brookings Institution
Invite you to a discussion featuring a recent publication
Global Governance Reform
Breaking the Stalemate
by Edited by Colin I. Bradford, Jr. , Johannes F. Linn

Are the international institutions up to the tasks of the twenty-first century?
The International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and UN were set up after World War
II, and their structures of voting power and representation have changed little
in the face of deep-seated shifts in the world?s balance of economic and
political power.  The current global challenges such as terrorism, poverty,
nuclear proliferation, trade and financial integration, and climate change,
demand coordinated global action, at a time when the line between national and
international action has become increasingly blurred. How can the global
governance system and international institutions such as the Bretton Woods
Institutions, the UN, and key global trade, health and environmental bodies
respond to these challenges?

Film Screening "Water" discussed at the InfoShop on March 28, 2007, 6:00pm in J1-050

The InfoShop & The World Bank Group
Office of Diversity Programs
Invite you to a film screening
Water

Water is set in the holy city of Varanasi, on the Ganges, in the 1930s, during
the rise of Mahatma Gandhi and his independence struggle from British colonial
rule. It?s a time of change, but the old ways die hard. There are still child
marriages in India. Chuyia (played by Sarala), is an eight year old widow. Upon
the death of her husband, she is sent to live in a convent-like compound with
other widows who live ascetic lives.

Beautiful and hopeful, depressing and disturbing, this movie by Indian director
Deepa Mehta will please your senses and prick your conscience. The movie opens
with a quotation from The Laws of Manu, a Hindu holy book.

       Chairman and Chief Investment Officer, Emerging Markets Management
            Antoine  van  Agtmael  founded  EMM with a vision: to offer superior
            returns  with  lower risk by applying modern techniques to investing
            in carefully selected emerging markets equities.  Mr. van Agtmael is
            widely  considered  a  pioneer in emerging markets investing, having
            coined  the  term  ?emerging  markets?  to  describe this unique and
            exciting  asset class.  Mr. van Agtmael has served as Division Chief
            in  the  World  Bank?s Treasury operations and as Deputy Director of
            the   Capital   Markets  Department  at  the  International  Finance
            Corporation.   At the IFC, Mr. van Agtmael created the world?s first

            ?If anyone knows emerging markets, it?s Antoine van Agtmael. Having

            "The man who hatched the concept of 'emerging markets' takes us to
            the next stage with these incisive, highly-informed portraits of the
            companies that are emerging from these countries to be major players
            in the international marketplace.  Based upon in-depth analysis and
            hundreds of thousands of miles of trekking and on-location research,
            Antoine van Agtmael demonstrates how and why these companies will
            have big impact on the world economy -- and why some will surely go
            from the local presence of yesterday to the global brands of

Reminder: "Protestantism and Environmentalism: In Quest of a Weberian Approach to Eco-History" discussed at the InfoShop on March 20, 2007, 3:00pm in J1-050

InfoShop, Goethe-Institut and the Delegation of the European Commission to the
USA, the German Presidency
Invite you to a discussion
"Protestantism and Environmentalism: In Quest of a Weberian Approach to
Eco-History"
The "Weber thesis" on the affinity between Protestantism and capitalism is
famous all over the world. But today one could ask whether we need a new version
of this thesis: an interpretation of the affinity between Protestantism and
environmentalism. To be sure, today we have a lot of literature on the
"environmental movement" and "environmental politics"; but we are told quite
different stories, without a clear agreement as to how environmentalism has
evolved. Joachim Radkau has written both an environmental history of the world
("Nature and Power") and a biography of Max Weber. He tries to show that there
are various Weberian approaches which may lead to a more comprehensive and
analytical study of environmentalism.

Presented by
Joachim Radkau
Joachim Radkau's work, the first comprehensive biography of Max Weber, deals in
detail with Weber's personal life and his work. Widely discussed and debated in
Germany today, the biography brings Max Weber?s life, works and era together to
create a lively panorama of a time whose changes are still felt today. Radkau is
professor for modern history at the University of Bielefeld. He is an author of
numerous books, including The Age of Unrest (1998).
