【 摘 要 】

These are the proceedings from a WorldBank workshop on global public policies, and programs,assembled from transcripts, and accompanying papers. Thecombination of market failure, and limited institutionalcapacity to influence economic, and social change acrossnational borders, underlies public discontent with aid. Thisformed the basis for discussions, looking for new approachesto the development assistance business, taking into accountthe growing integration of the global economy, and arguingthat, beyond supporting market-friendly reforms, aidstrategies must be designed to overcome social, andstructural constraints to sustainable development. The broadrange of cases examined include efforts to craft commonlyaccepted standards for the design, and operation of largedams; they address issues of global financial instability;explore the implications of intellectual property rightsprotection for developing countries; describe the promotionof international agricultural research; probe theimplementation of international public health programs; and,identify the dilemmas associated with the financing, andevaluation of global public policies, and programs. Suchprograms have become center stage because of irreversibleprocesses associated with globalization, and, similarinitiatives will dominate the development scene for years to come.
