But if worldwide protests and reams of damning internal reports are any indication, too often it does just the opposite. By funding development projects and programs that warm the planet and destroy critical natural resources on which the poor depend, the Bank has been hurting the very people it claims to serve. What explains this blatant contradiction?.If anyone has the answer, it is arguably Bruce Rich—a lawyer and expert in public international finance who has for the last three decades studied the Bank’s institutional contortions, the real-world consequences of its lending, and the politics of the global environmental crisis. What emerges from the bureaucratic dust is a disturbing and gripping story of corruption, larger-than-life personalities, perverse incentives, and institutional amnesia. The World Bank isthe Vatican of development finance, and its dysfunction plays out as a reflection of the political hypocrisies and failures of governance of its 188 member countries..Foreclosing the Future. shows how the Ban | | 出版日期 | Book 2013Latest edition | | 关键词 | Corruption; Dam; Development; World Bank; climate change | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-184-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-184-9 | | copyright | Bruce Rich 2013 |
