| Summary: | This paper examines the links between
governance and the Extractive Industries sector, and
considers the implications of those links for the work of
the World Bank. This evaluation takes place on the heels of
important complementary World Bank initiatives, upon which
it draws. The Bank has pioneered a research initiative into
the economics of civil war crime and violence, which
considered inter alia the effects of natural resource
endowments. A task force has examined the special problems
of Low Income Countries Under Stress. There is overlap
between this group of countries and the group of
resource-rich Bank borrowers. And the Bank has done
substantial research linking governance to development outcomes. |
