v. 2 ISBN 9789041101150
Description
This volume covers the various activities and roles performed by the World Bank and its affiliated agencies. It describes in detail how this group of institutions has emerged as a primary source of international public policy far beyond what was originally envisaged by the drafters of their Articles of Agreement. The author analyzes how the role of this important institution has evolved and articulates the innovative approaches it has followed in adapting its constituent agreement to the changing and growing needs of its members. For the specialist in international law and international development, the book provides an expert analysis from the perspective of an insider who deals with legal and developmental issues on a daily basis. For the general public, it provides information about an institution that has not always been seen as open to outsiders.

v. 3 ISBN 9789041113658
Description
Like its two predecessors with the same title, this volume attempts to analyze how the World Bank is dealing with the major challenges it encounters as a result of constant changes in the world it serves. The now complete three-volume series on the World Bank in a Changing World is written by a Bank insider who, as the Bank's Vice President, then Senior Vice President, and General Counsel for a period extending over 15 years, was a member of the Bank's senior management and attended almost all the meetings of its Board of Executive Directors. With this background, the purpose of the book is not simply to provide information, especially in areas that are often not known, misunderstood or not adequately appreciated outside the Bank; it also analyzes this information in depth, particularly from policy and legal perspectives, with a view to drawing lessons that may be useful both to the Bank and its member countries in making their future choices. Every effort has been made to present the facts as objectively and accurately as possible; the analysis and conclusions reflect, however, the author's own convictions.
Both in its legal analysis and in its minute descriptions of developments within and outside the Bank, the three volumes of this book present a useful source of knowledge. Its title should not hide the diversity of the topics it covers and their relevance to those interested not only in development issues but also in matters of international law, international organizations, international relations, the environment, human rights and institutional reform, especially legal, judicial, civil service and banking sector reform.
