Aid and Power: The World Bank and Policy-based Lending, Volume 1

Front Cover
Psychology Press, 1995 - Business & Economics - 362 pages
When the major aid organizations made flows of aid conditional on changes in policy, they prompted an extensive debate in development circles. Aid and Power has made one of the most significant and influential contributions to that debate. This edition has been revised to take account of changes within the World Bank itself and the extension of policy based lending to the formerly socialist economies of east and central Europe.
