Biographical note
Edited by Antje Vetterlein, Professor of Global Governance, Department of Political Science, University of Münster and Tobias Schmidtke, Research Fellow, Department of Political Science, University of Münster, Germany‘In this volume on the World Bank, Vetterlein and Schmidtke provide scholars of, and policymakers in, international organizations (IOs) a great service. The Editors have assembled a stellar cast of scholars, many known for their body of work on the World Bank, “new” researchers offering excellent analyses on a range of themes and issues, as well as a number of ex-World Bank staffers. The volume explores and documents both the inside and the outside of the World Bank, discussing how policies are developed, how norms are articulated, the role of the Bank in geopolitical and inter-organizational rivalries, and its relationship to capitalism. As a “companion”, this volume does more than a hand-holding walkthrough of the World Bank. Instead, it provides a startling amount of politically-charged detail on both its internal conversation and relationship to other global actors.’
