The World Bank is the key institution through which rich nations
channel resources to poorer ones. Yet it was established over 50
years ago in a radically different international environment, and
constantly re-invented itself in the intervening decades. What
drives this evolution? This text considers the nature of change at
the World Bank, exploring both the external impetous for change,
and the impact of the Bank's internal organization and culture. The
author's findings are supported by case studies of three of the
Bank's most important new agendas: private sector development,
participation, and governance. Michelle Miller-Adams finds that
traditional international-relations based approaches, which focus
on states and power, are inadequate for explaining institutional
change at the World Bank. Attention must be paid to the Bank's
internal processes, especially the technical and apolitical norms
that form an intrinsic part of its identity. This identity, which
dates from the Bank's earliest days, continues to shape its
response to new demands and affect its ability to meet the needs of
a changing world.
