Although this international integration presents tremendous opportunities for developing countries, it also has raised concerns about rising inequality, shifting power, and cultural uniformity. This report assesses the impact of globalization and addresses the ensuing anxieties. It proposes an agenda for action aimed at mitigating the risks that globalization potentially generates, while maximizing the opportunities for the poor.--Publisher description.+-+83516704651213129514ocn002246726sw002246726:lccn-n79-43403Falseseri0.68Finance & development1196126911ocn044954410sw042384640:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook20000.60Entering the 21st century World development report, 1999/2000+-+8976670465117012517ocn044954960sw040125729:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19980.63Assessing aid what works, what doesn't, and why"Assessing Aid is the seventh in a series of Policy Research Reports intended to bring to a broad audience the results of World Bank research on development policy issues.

Can the recovery be converted into a new era of high growth to rival the miracle years? Has the crisis permanently changed the region's development strategy and its institutional underpinnings?" "Aimed at an audience including the international community, policymakers in the region, the business community, and academics, this study provides a synthesis of recent work, incorporating selected pieces of analytical work and a progress report on the key elements of concern to the Bank. It offers suggestions for actionable policies for regional and local actors and, by opening up questions that cannot be answered, establishes a research agenda for the future."--BOOK JACKET.+-+1010986735110011559ocn044954773sw040644835:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19990.61Trade, Global Policy, and the Environment+-+23099867351087116414ocn048138890sw044151272:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook20000.63Can Africa claim the 21st century"Can Africa Claim the 21st Century? is a product of the growing collaboration among some of the main institutions involved in African development: the African Development Bank, African Economic Research Consortium, Global Coalition for Africa, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and World Bank.

"In this book, Soros not only identifies the problems but also puts forward practical proposals to make the system work better. In a thoughtful analysis of our existing international financial and trade institutions, Soros shows that while they aid wealth creation they fall short in providing other public goods. Soros deplores an unwitting coalition between market fundamentalists on the far Right and antiglobalization activists on the far Left bent on destroying the international institutions we have and calls for a different coalition that would work to reform and strengthen those intitutions. The missing element, the centerpiece of the new architecture, is the use of Special Drawing Rights for the provision of development assistance and public goods on a global scale."--BOOK JACKET.+-+30763913061252129310ocn055085779sw055085779:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook20040.59Mallaby, SebastianThe world's banker : a story of failed states, financial crises, and the wealth and poverty of nationsLooks inside the workings of the World Bank and global development under the leadership of James Wolfensohn, examining the role of the World Bank in a new era of globalization and international terrorism.+-+3875579406123612363ocn000250446sw000250446:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19630.63Morris, JanThe road to Huddersfield: a journey to five continents123212545ocn027896648sw027896648:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19940.62Rich, BruceMortgaging the earth : the World Bank, environmental impoverishment, and the crisis of development114811481ocn000662040sw000662040:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19730.69Mason, Edward SThe World Bank since Bretton Woods; the origins, policies, operations, and impact of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the other members of the World Bank group: the International Finance Corporation, the International Development Association [and] the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes108310904ocn034553508sw034553508:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19960.61Caufield, CatherineMasters of illusion : the World Bank and the poverty of nationsThis is the story of good intentions gone wrong. It begins in 1945 with a pledge to end poverty through a newly created international banking institution. Staffed by the most talented economists from the best universities, the World Bank embarked on this task with the self-assurance only technicians isolated from reality can possess. Fifty years later, the gap between the rich and the underdeveloped nations is wider than ever, thanks in no small part to the measures taken by the World Bank.

The evaluation is based on the synthesis of self-evaluation assessments, case studies of selected countries, background reviews of selected areas, surveys and interviews of Bank staff, and consultations with stakeholders in four regions. An Advisory Panel reviewed drafts and served as a sounding board for the recommendations. A concluding Workshop on the Bank's Environment Strategy and OED's Environment Review provided an opportunity for participants to comment on the Review findings and on the draft Environment Strategy, and to discuss next steps in implementation. In addition to OED's Review, we are pleased to share with you the report of OED's Advisory Panel, and the Facilitator's Summary of the concluding workshop.+-+180508673556811989ocn044962093sw035235655:lccn-n79-43403Falsebook19960.71Bankers with a mission the presidents of the World Bank, 1946-91The World Bank has been in business for more than fifty years.
