The Struggle for Accountability: The World Bank, NGOs, and Grassroots Movements, vol 1

Edited by Jonathan A. Fox () and L. David Brown ()

in MIT Press Books from The MIT Press

Abstract: After a history of funding environmentally costly megaprojects, the World Bank now claims that it is trying to become a leading force for sustainable development. For more than a decade, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and grassroots movements have formed transnational coalitions to reform the World Bank and the governments that it funds. The Struggle for Accountability assesses the efforts of these groups to make the World Bank more publicly accountable.
