Positioning the World Bank
审视世界银行的运作逻辑，批评其依赖贷款条件，主张转型为知识银行，对政策与制度良好的国家少设条件放贷，对政策薄弱国家侧重提供知识和技术援助，并扩大其提供全球公共品的作用。
This article examines the rationale for the World Bank and explores whether its objective is best served by its current mix of activities. We are critical of the Bank's reliance on conditionality, and advocate evolution into a Knowledge Bank, which would lend with few conditions to countries with good policies and good institutions, and would concentrate on the provision of knowledge and technical assistance, rather than lending, in countries where the policy framework is poor. We also advocate an expansion in the Bank's role as a provider of global public goods; we critically examine the Banks role in relation to financial crises.
