Book Information
In this book Le Prestre outlines the genesis and major characteristics of the World Bank's environmental policy, examines the internal constraints arising from the organization's mandate, technology, and structure, and describes the Bank's task and the constraints it puts on the definition and implementation of the policy. He also reviews the strategies that the Bank has used to adapt and transform its milieu in the past, applies these to its environmental policy, and reexamines the policy in the light of two case studies, and criticisms the Bank has faced. He concludes with a look at how the Bank will respond to economic and ecological challenges in the coming years. ISBN 0-941664-98-8: $36.50.
