THE WORLD BANK AND TRANSFERRING DEVELOPMENT - A...

This book analyses the World Bank's provision of technical assistance from 1946 to the present
day. It argues that the relational dynamics between technical assistance provider and recipient
affects the legitimacy of policy norms travelling from the 'international' to the 'domestic'.
Beginning from the constructivist position that 'development' is a social construct  the author
contends that successful policy movement via technical assistance depends on the recipient's
perception of the validity of policy reforms  with perception being influenced by the way those
ideas and practices are presented  packaged  and transferred. In advancing this argument 
Bazbauers analyses four pillars of World Bank technical assistance: technical assistance
components (advisory services incorporated within lending operations)  stand-alone technical
assistance projects (projects designed to solely deliver technical assistance)  survey missions
(activities involved in measuring the development status of developing countries)  and training
institutes (the courses of the Economic Development Institute and World Bank Institute).
