Abstract

This article discusses the role of the World Bank as an instrument of United States policy. With this objective in mind, I examine the relationship between the changes in strategic direction of this so-called multilateral institution and the war experiences of the Great Power. I try to show that the three great shifts in World Bank thinking, with repercussions on the countries where the Bank acts, are intimately linked with the US defeat in  Vietnam, the end of the Cold War and the War on Terror.
