Description
Summary:	The authors provide a compelling and balanced critique of the world's largest multilateral development lending agency in the context of globalisation and the increasing domestication of market-based economic reforms. Adopting a tripartite historical, theoretical and empirical approach, they argue the Bank's performance should be judged on the basis of its record and against the critical challenge to eradicate global poverty.
