Synopsis

This text examines the policies and projects of the Inter-American Development Bank, which has recently received criticism from a number of organizations and environmental groups. Drawing on case studies from Latin America, the author attempts to answer some basic questions, such as whether the IDB has been an effective agent of development, or a mere clone of the World Bank, susceptible to that agency's weaknesses as well as its strengths. She also assesses the bank's ability to take on the emerging challenges on the development agenda, including such issues as governance, military spending, and the need for gender-sensitive development strategies.
