Summary: The multilateral banks are powerful forces in the international community, providing loans of more than $250 billion to developing countries over the last half-century. The best known of these, the World Bank, has been studied extensively, but the 'regional development banks' are little understood, even within their own geographic regions. This series looks specifically at the policies and projects of the various regional development banks, which like the World Bank, have recently come under growing criticism from grassroots organizations, environmental groups and others. Asia and the Pacific is an extremely diverse region, containing both very small and very large nation states- as well as extremes of rich and poor. This volume describes the important and delicate role of the Asian Development Bank in this region during a dramatic period of economic transformation.
