This book analyses the World Bank's provision of technical
assistance from 1946 to the present day. It argues that the
relational dynamics between technical assistance provider and
recipient affects the legitimacy of policy norms travelling from
the 'international' to the 'domestic'. Beginning from the
constructivist position that 'development' is a social construct,
the author contends that successful policy movement via technical
assistance depends on the recipient's perception of the validity of
policy reforms, with perception being influenced by the way those
ideas and practices are presented, packaged, and transferred. In
advancing this argument, Bazbauers analyses four pillars of World
Bank technical assistance: technical assistance components
(advisory services incorporated within lending operations),
stand-alone technical assistance projects (projects designed to
solely deliver technical assistance), survey missions (activities
involved in measuring the development status of developing
countries), and training institutes (the courses of the Economic
Development Institute and World Bank Institute).
