Shugurov, M.V. The activities of the World Bank in the sphere of global dissemination of knowledge and technologies: law and practice.

Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the functions of the World Bank as a “bank of knowledge”. Much attention is paid to the policy of open access to the offi cial publications, which form the legal basis for the further reforms in the Bank towards its more open and effi cient activities. The author accents the input of the World Bank into the guarantees of all-inclusive and effi cient implementation of rights and freedoms of people, as relevant to the scientifi c and technological progress.

Keywords:

international law, knowledge, globalization, cooperation, effi ciency, progress, science, openness, information.
