Public sector management accounting in emerging economies: A literature review (2016, background): “…how the hegemonic relationship between theWorld Bank, transnational organizations and the intellectual community have contributed to the transfer of the World Bank’s ideologies and discourses at the national and local government and community levels (e.g. Bebbington et al., 2004; Stiglitz, 2002).”
Social capital and sustainable development: Theories and concepts (2005, unknown): “Bebbington (2004) and Bebbington et al. (2004) observed that in recent years several efforts have been made to ‘deconstruct the modes of discursive power’ that are found within discussions of social capital generally and of social capital and development in particular, especially at the World Bank.”
Bridging the rationalist–constructivist divide: re-engineering the culture of the World Bank (2006, background): “…dynamic and participatory process, contest and debate the prevailing norms in an attempt to change them — a process of communicative action that nonetheless takes place within an environment that already privileges certain language, theories, and methods (Bebbington et al. 2004; Leiteritz 2005).”
Collective Action, Common Property, and Social Capital in South India: An Anthropological Commentary (2006, background): “Certainly, the self-history of social capital thinking at the World Bank reveals a series of concessions by anthropologists to economists’ epistemology and methodology (Bebbington et al. 2004).”
Sustainable development (1987-2005): an oxymoron comes of age (2005, unknown): “The character of this social resistance has been recognized with the epithet 'social capital', a term that frequently underplays political struggles and has the imprimatur of the World Bank (Bebbington et al., 2004).”
Development and social capital (2006, background): “The World Bank has been particularly active in encouraging multidisciplinary research on social capital (eg, Grootaert and van Bastelaer, 2002b ; Woolcock and Narayan, 2000 ; Bebbington et al, 2004 ).”
