| Summary: | This book evaluates the relevance and
effectiveness of Bank assistance to China since the early
1990s. The author finds that the Bank has made important
contributions to economic reform, poverty reduction,
infrastructure development, and environmental protection,
but has fallen short of its objectives in promoting fiscal
and financial reforms to reduce inequality and risk. This
book also addresses the variability of the environmental
safeguard policy and procedures. The author contends that
the Bank still has a role to play in China, but with a
reduced lending program and without International
Development Association (IDA) resources, both the Bank and
China need to adapt in order to make the best use of Bank assistance. |
