Responses: Jo Marie Griesgraber, New Rules for Global Finance Coalitions (World Bank)
I do not follow the World Bank as closely as the Fund, but I do know its governance problems are equally bad, that scholars never can access its archives, that corruption is endemic. Despite these, maybe it can do some good. Civil society--in consultations about IMF governance reform—have suggested that the Bank and Fund have the same board to compel coordination, to keep the IMF out of development, and get the WB to do what is needed in LICs.
