520			_aThe World Bank is one of the most important and least understood major international institutions. This book provides a concise, accessible and comprehensive overview of the World Bank's history, development, structure, functionality and activities. These themes are illustrated with a wide variety of case studies drawn from the Bank's international activities. Also discussed are the controversial challenges that the Bank now faces in the light of the criticism from campaigners and NGOs. This book combines a thorough overview of where the Bank comes from, how it works, its challenges, and its mission and vision. Written by someone who knows the Bank deeply and intimately, it is honest, informative and insightful. It offers both an interpretation of this complex institution and a map of where its future lies. Ngozi Okonjo-lweala, Managing Director of the World Bank Group, and Former Minister of Finance and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nigeria.
