The World Bank by Jo Marie Griesgraber
In The World Bank a broad range of contributors assess the impact of this Bretton Woods institution. Owodunni Teriba presents an African perspective of the difficulties of structural adjustment and the humiliation of African governments by donor agencies, C.P. Chandrasekhar offers a sweeping critique of structural adjustment policy, proposing a detailed alternative; Barend A. de Vries examines the history and results of the World Bank's focus on poverty alleviation; Jacklyn Cock and E.C. Webster argue that many development projects are flawed by neglect of the social and environmental impacts and inadequate levels of public participation; David Gillies examines the case for and against applying political conditions to World Bank lending policies; and Daniel C. Milder argues that the World Bank needs to support cross-cultural coalition building as a central tenet of its reforms.
