Head. 330 $aThis book offers a new perspective in examining the key global economic organizations - the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank (and its regional counterparts), and the World Trade Organization. Aimed at ordinary informed readers, the text draws upon the author's many years of familiarity with these organizations to evaluate them from a legal and policy perspective, touching on issues of \'mission creep,\' \'democracy deficit,\' and more. The book depicts such issues as the central struggles in a \'Global Development War\' that is now being lost because of certain ideological and institutional failings that currently afflict the global institutions. That war can be won, the author asserts, only by adopting an ideology of liberal, intelligent, participatory, multilateral, and sustainable human development. 606 $aDevelopment banks$xEvaluation 606 $aEconomic assistance 615 0$aDevelopment banks$xEvaluation. 615 0$aEconomic assistance. 676 $a332.1/53 700 $aHead$b John W$g(John Warren),$f1953-$0598510 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778695803321 996 $aLosing the global development war$93844368 997 $aUNINA
