Introduction : hypocrisy and change in the World Bank -- The World Bank hypocrisy trap -- The world's bank and the bank's world -- Good governance and anticorruption : from rhetoric to reality? -- The poverty of reform -- The fog of development.
The World Bank has attracted equal amounts of criticism and praise. Critics are especially quick to decry the World Bank's hypocrisy - the pervasive gaps between the organization's talk, decisions, and actions. This book explores how the characteristics of change in a complex international organization make hypocrisy difficult to resolve.
