Leading the World Bank:The Wolfensohn, Wolfowitz, and Zoellick Presidencies
Bazbauers, A. R.
Abstract:
This paper examines the World Bank since the mid 1990s, with specific focus on the Office of its President, held consecutively by James D. Wolfensohn (1995-2005), Paul Wolfowitz (2005-2007), and Robert B. Zoellick (2007- 2012). What has each president brought to this highly debated institution? Has each improved upon their predecessors‘ legacies, or has the old just been recycled and refitted in a new storefront? And what does this entail for economic development and growth? By analysing the leadership of these three men and their ideological bases, this paper provides a snapshot of recent changes in the mainstream development discourse.
