"Grounded in the sociology of institutions and careful empirical
examination of twenty years of practice, Forgotten Values is
a compelling, lucid account of why the World Bank's partnerships on
biodiversity fall short of their promise to deliver democratic,
innovative, and financially sustainable solutions to global
collective problems."
--Karin Backstrand, Professor of Environmental Social Science,
Stockholm University
"Forgotten Values brilliantly demonstrates how the
bureaucratic organizational logic of the World Bank comes to
dominate the biodiversity partnerships it sponsors, undercutting
the very goals of democratization, innovation, and resource
mobilization that prompted reliance on partnerships in the first
place."
--Kenneth Abbott, Jack E. Brown Chair in Law Emeritus, Arizona
State University "Full of well-researched insights into the
self-interest of large bureaucracies, Forgotten Values adds
a critical tone to the prevailing assessments of multistakeholder
partnerships as panacea for complex global challenges in times of
reduced international cooperation."
--Philipp Pattberg, Professor of Transnational Environmental
Governance and Policy, Institute for Environmental Studies, and
Director, Amsterdam Sustainability Institute, Vrije Universiteit
