When it was founded back in 1944 no one could possibly have
foreseen how the World Bank - known more formally as the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) -
would flourish. Today, with 188 members, it is by far the largest
lender for projects in agriculture, health, infrastructure and many
other fields in developing countries around the world, with a
budget of billions of dollars and a staff of more than 9,000, and
its advice is usually heeded by both the developing countries which
borrow from it and the advanced ones which contribute. This second
edition of the Historical Dictionary of the World Bank shows the
substantial progress the Bank has made, this mainly through the
dictionary section with concise entries on its component
institutions, related organizations, its achievements in various
fields, some of the major projects and member countries, and its
various presidents. The introduction explains how the Bank works
while the chronology traces the major events over nearly 70 years.
Meanwhile, the list of acronyms reminds us just who the main
players are. And the bibliography directs readers to useful
internal documentation and outside studies.
