Abstract: This article examines how the World Bank operates as a coordinating agency within the field of higher education and how its specific financial technologies operate as the carriers of globalization practices. By focusing on organizations such as the World Bank, we can identify and trace the mechanisms through which globalization practices are diffused. We do so by identifying and discussing the three main activities used by the World Bank to wield its authority and influence: lending, technical assistance, and the publication of reports.
