inspiring speeches, essays and letters during the decade of

security. Written during some of the most tumultuous times
in recent history, Wolfensohn's writings examines key
global events and issues, from Bosnia's reconstruction,
the Asian financial crisis, and the rise of the
globalization movement, to the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, the aftermath of the Iraq war, and the
outpouring of help for the victims of the tsunami of
December 2004.The works collected here describes both
Wolfensohn's thinking on development and his advocacy
for the world's poor. This book will be an invaluable
resource for any audience interested, in development,
international relations, the World Bank and Wolfensohn himself. |
