Sustainable development agendas of regional international organizations: the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development and the Eurasian Development Bank. Problems of Post-Communism. 2022;69(4-5):304-16. DOI: 10.1080/10758216.2021.19794121075-8216http://hdl.handle.net/10230/56833The paper analyzes how the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) approach sustainable development in their legal documents and social media. Unlike democracies, autocracies are driven by concerns of regime survival, but they often seek legitimacy through expressed commitments to global norms. We find that while the EBRD has a clear and detailed environmental agenda, this is not so for the EDB, which appears unconcerned about legitimizing itself on this issue. The paper advances our understanding of the likely role of these organizations in sustainable development, identifying areas for further research on global environmental challenges.application/pdfeng© 2021 The Author(s).
