FOREWORD
The World Bank is widely perceived as an institution dominated by
economists and economics. This view is frequently accompanied by a
belief that the Bank is not concerned with noneconomic social
science. Such a view does not do justice either to the institution or to
the distinguished corps of sociologists, anthropologists, and political
scientists on the Bank's staff or to those contributing as consultants.
This rich, annotated inventory of publications attests to both the
breadth and quality of the noneconomic social science work done at
the World Bank. The many works listed here, and the many other
unpublished works that lie behind them, are of sound quality, often
path breaking, critical, and challenging, creatively conducting the
social analysis required for development work. While each paper
listed in the compendium looks at only one facet of a particular
problem, when taken together they illuminate the special contribution
that these social sciences make to the understanding and the practice
of development.
Nevertheless, sociologists and anthropologists sometimes point to the
fact that the noneconomic social sciences are not full partners in the
decision-making concerning the policy and project investment
decisions that guide the development business, both in governments
and in international financial organizations such as the World Bank.
What are the grounds for this contention?
The answer, I believe, lies in part in the dominant paradigm of
development and its evolving nature over time, and partly in the
nature of financial institutions. On the question of paradigm, I believe
that the rise of the economic paradigm in the 1960s and
1970sdisplacing the engineers and the technicians from their
