Who Matters at the World Bank?: Bureaucrats, Policy Change, and Public Sector Governance de Kim Moloney

Who Matters at the World Bank?: Bureaucrats, Policy Change, and Public Sector Governance

Autor Kim Moloney
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 iul 2022
Who Matters at the World Bank explores "who matters" in a 32-year history (1980-2012) of policy change within the World Bank's public sector management and public sector governance agenda, and is anchored within the public administration discipline and its understanding of bureaucracy, bureaucratic politics, and stakeholder influences. In response to constructivist scholars' concerns about politics and the organizational culture of international civil servants within international organizations, Kim Moloney uses stakeholder theory and a bureaucratic politics approach to suggest the normality of politics, policy debate, and policy evolution. The book also highlights how for 21 of those 32 years it was not external stakeholders but the international civil servants of the World Bank who most influenced, led, developed, and institutionalized this sector's agenda. In so doing, the book explains how one sector of the Bank's work rose, against the odds, from being included in just under 3% of approved projects in 1980 to 73% of all projects approved between 1991 and 2012.

Recenzii

Moloney's book offers a common ground for IO scholars whose work highlights the importance of either the external or internal actors...a distinctive addition to the current debates...Moloney shows the intellectual ferment existing at the World Bank throughout its history.
I am very glad to have read this deeply informative work... The methods and use of sources in this book are scrupulous... The richness of the empirical chapters draws one into the internal politicking... an extremely well documented, detailed analysis of how bureaucrats advocate for their preferred policy change within the World Bank... this volume is critical for parsing out when bureaucrats can shape policy and how they are able to do so. Moloney has done a tremendous job in distilling this into a single volume and providing us with theoretical propositions to take into further research on understanding of the drivers of change in IOs.
The book offers an invaluable resource to help current and future scholars and civil servants navigate the challenges they face in international development work (and the organizations they work with and for). As such, I strongly recommend that all those working on and in development read "Who Matters at the World Bank" and keep it close at hand.
Who Matters at the World Bank is an extremely well documented, detailed analysis of how bureaucrats advocate for their preferred policy change within the World Bank.
By introducing a heterogeneous vision of the Bank staff, Moloney shows the force and relevance of internal debates in the public sector...Moloney offers a thorough and well-researched view of the PSM and PSG sectors of the World Bank over thirty-two years. She underlines how international bureaucrats advocate for policy change and how they can do so depending on their authority and power...[and] offers a complex and dense analysis of bureaucratic politics within one of the largest global bureaucracies. This book represents a rich resource for scholars interested in understanding how and when internal actors shape policies, and under what constraints they do so.
What Moloney offers to PA [public administration] is the fact that much research in civil service systems concerns the national... and her study fits very well in an emerging literature on international organization and administration.
