Opis

In 1996, the World Bank President, James Wolfensohn, declared that his organization would henceforth be the knowledge bank. A new discourse of knowledge-based aid has since spread rapidly across the development field. This is a detailed attempt to analyse this new discourse and practice. Through an examination of four agencies - the World Bank, the British Department for International Development, the Japan International Cooperation Agency and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency - it explores what this new approach to aid means in both theory and practice.
