It examines the modernization of this global economic institution which is now focused on home-grown development planning where borrowing countries are in the "driver's seat" of their own development. It takes a closer look at the major development challenges addressed by the Bank during the past decade 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 will find this a fascinating account of the Bank's transformation under the guidance of James Wolfensohn. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 0$aEconomic assistance. 676 $a332.1/532 701 $aKagia$b Ruth$01865908 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959033203321 996 $aBalancing the development agenda$94473135 997 $aUNINA
