【 摘 要 】

At the Frontlines of Development formerWorld Bank country directors recount their experiences, bothas managers of the World Bank's programs in globaleconomic hotspots of the 1990s as well as throughout theircareers in development economics. These essays detail, amongmany stories of development in the 1990s, how China andIndia lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty, whileRussia collapsed; how Bosnia and Herzegovina and Mozambiqueremade their war-ravaged economies; and how Thailand,Turkey, and Argentina fell into financial crisis. Theseremarkable stories, told in first-person by the countrydirectors who were there to witness them, provide candidassessments of development in the 1990s-what succeeded, whatfailed, and what lessons emerged.
