Inside the World Bank

Exploding the Myth of the Monolithic Bank

About this book

This book argues that the World Bank, far from being a unitary actor, is fundamentally plural, internally fragmented and dispersed, with cascading chains of delegation, authority and controls, and with considerable discretion delegated to the staff.
