  • Parliamentary Oversight of International Loan Agreements and Related Processes

    • Authors: Inter-Parliamentary Union; World Bank (2013)

  • The study indicates that there is plenty of room for parliaments to exert influence in the loan approval process by instituting legal frameworks or by strengthening existing ones, as well as by improving a number of oversight practices.

  • Beyond numbers: the participation of indigenous peoples in parliament

    • Authors: Inter-Parliamentary Union (2014)

  • This report examines the extent to which indigenous peoples are participating meaningfully in external decision-making processes through parliamentary structures. It is based on a survey of countries known to have indigenous populations (26 of 77 parliaments participated), as well as on secondary data for another 10 parliaments.1 Because of the relatively limited data available, the report seeks not to quantify, but to provide a deeper understanding of indigenous peoples’ participation in parliaments. It analyzes the data against other research findings about their political participation as well as external variables, such as the kind of electoral system in place in each country.
