SummaryThe World Bank was created in the aftermath of World War II with the intention of helping all countries in Europe rebuild in a positive and prosperous manner. Since this time, the World Bank has undergone many changes and refocused its strategies for development. Today, the World Bank takes part in hundreds of development projects in almost every country in the world. As the international community’s largest lender, the World Bank has become a powerful entity working to improve living conditions in all developed and developing nations. Through the projects undertaken by this organization, governments of developing nations all across the globe have been able to receive the financial support that they need to advance their social and economic development.
Despite the fact that the World Bank appears to have altruistic motives for advancing the development of Third World countries research into the policies and practices used by the World Bank seems to suggest that there are significant problems that may actually promulgate financial hardship for developing nations.
