Protecting the Individual from International Authority

Monika Heupel is Junior Professor for International and European Politics at Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, Germany. Michael Zuern is Director of the Global Governance unit at the Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin für Sozialforschung and Professor of International Relations at the Freie Universität Berlin.

'In our time, international organizations, having gained the authority to influence the lives of individuals through peacekeeping, sanctions, and development lending, have increasingly committed themselves to respect the human rights of those individuals. In this excellent, original, and rigorous book, the authors explore and explain the varied ways in which the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and NATO have committed to protecting the human rights of vulnerable individuals. Vital reading for all students of international law, international organizations, and global governance.' Mark A. Pollack, Temple University, Philadelphia
