Rethinking Bretton Woods (RBW)

The Rethinking Bretton Woods (RBW) was founded in 1995 to promote reforms of international financial institutions --such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund-- and policies, with the purpose of democratizing economic policy-making, achieving human rights and sustainable development.

The project carries out advocacy-oriented research, popular education and coalition-building engaging government and intergovernmental officials, policy-makers, civil society organizations, academics, grassroots activists, social movements and the public. It works closely with partner organizations in the U.S., Europe, and all the regions of the Global South.

The current main areas of focus of the RBW project are:
