The Multilateral Development Banks and Rural Climate Finance
Our article analyses multilateral development bank (MDB) engagement with climate change and rural and agricultural development. It reviews 140 MDB governance documents and 284 lending operations to evaluate how their strategic intent has been translated into action. We conclude that while climate adaptation and mitigation initiatives are emphasised in MDB governance documents as crucial to transformative and equitable climate outcomes that promot…
The Anti-illicit Activity Regime of the Multilateral Development Banks
The spread of illicit activity across the global economy presents significant challenges to international development. Despite the well-recognised global incidence of corruption, fraud, and money laundering in development-focused investment projects, the responses of the multilateral development banks (MDBs) to these threats remain understudied. Our article offers the first comprehensive study into the comparative historical emergence and evoluti…
Gender and the Multilateral Development Banks
Multilateral development bank (MDB) engagement with ‘gender’ is controversial in review and uneven in practice. The authors analyse 1,928 gender-focused projects financed by the World Bank and regional development banks between 1967 and 2021. We propose three eras into which MDB gender engagement divides and argues that isomorphic pressures have aligned their approaches. The article concludes that gender is not an investment priority and projects…

Sustainable, green, and climate-resilient cities
Climate change has exposed significant urban vulnerabilities in the Global North and South, leading to calls for sustainable, green, and climate-resilient (SGR) cities. The multilateral development banks (MDBs) financed projects and established initiatives to promote SGR cities during the 2010s. This article qualitatively analyses 60 SGR city projects financed by seven MDBs between December 2009 and August 2020. The contribution of the article is…

World Bank technical assistance
This article demonstrates that World Bank internal learning has led to significant changes in how the development bank interacts with government officials through technical assistance (TA). Reviewing evidence of institutional learning and associated changes in practice, the article identifies two main pillars of World Bank TA: TA components (advisory services contained within lending operations) and stand-alone TA projects (loans that solely fina…
The World Bank as a Development Teacher
The World Bank has been widely critiqued as a source of development norms. Yet one aspect of its activities has received relatively little academic attention: the socialization of development norms through training programs. This article addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing changes in the curricula, pedagogy, and methodology of the Economic Development Institute and the World Bank Institute—the teaching and learning arm of the World …
The World Bank online
The World Bank has increasingly adopted the Internet as a tool to support its development assistance activities. The rhetoric has been clear in announcing that digital networks will empower a greater range of actors, democratising development. However, the potential of online engagement is contingent upon the presence of and the ability to use such technology. As such, in adopting a techno-development paradigm, the World Bank has contributed to r…
The Wolfensohn, Wolfowitz, and Zoellick Presidencies
This article analyses the World Bank presidencies of James Wolfensohn (1995–2005), Paul Wolfowitz (2005–2007), and Robert Zoellick (2007–2012) to review how the World Bank spent more than a decade attempting to renew the legitimacy of its neoliberal agenda that was widely denounced following the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. It is the argument here that between the Asian Crisis and the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), the World Bank turned away…
