内容简介
This title examines the changes in the World Bank and its operations during the presidency of James Wolfensohn. It addresses the modernization of a 60-year-old institution that now emphasizes home-grown development planning where borrowing countries are in the "driver's seat" of their own development. It examines the major development challenges addressed by the Bank such as debt relief, corruption, and HIV/AIDS and provides a timeline of events that have shaped the Bank into the institution it is today. Readers with an interest in the World Bank and in international development issues will find this a fascinating account of the Bank's evolution under the guidance of James Wolfensohn as it worked to address the development challenges of the last decade.
