2016年《2017年世界发展报告：治理与法律》的编写工作恰逢世界银行决定扩大其正在开展的公共部门管理工作，以纳入世行借款国治理的关键问题25周年。本文对世行关于治理的主要报告进行了全面概述，这些报告都经过了世行高层的审查，因此可以合理地将其描述为反映了世行当时对该主题的经过深思熟虑的观点。目的是审查世界银行关于治理思想的演变，评估工作的相关性和有效性及其对即将出版的《世界发展报告》的影响。本文第二部分首先简要介绍了世行如何开始关注治理问题，回顾了20世纪80年代世行许多借款国在治理方面的重大变革，《协定条款》对世行治理工作施加的法律限制，并简要概述了1991年6月世行向董事会发表的关于治理的初步政策声明。第三部分回顾了历次《世界发展报告》中反映的世行在治理方面的主要工作，考察了世行对腐败问题的分析，回顾了世行对这一治理不善症状的思考是如何演变的。第四部分回顾了世行哪些方面做对了，哪些问题没有得到充分解决或没有得到充分解决。第五节提请注意发展中国家在过去25年中所经历的巨大变化，并指出需要更好地理解这些变化对发展中国家所面临的治理环境的影响。
The preparation work for the 2017 World Development Report on Governance and the Law in 2016 will coincide with the 25th anniversary of the World Bank’s decision to broaden its ongoing work on public sector management to embrace key issues of governance in the Bank’s borrowing countries. This paper provides a broad overview of the major Bank reports on governance that went through a review process at a sufficiently high level in the institution that they can reasonably be described as reflecting the Bank’s considered views at the time on the subject. The objective is to review the evolution of the Bank’s thinking on governance and assess the relevance and effectiveness of the work and its implications for the forthcoming World Development Report. Section two of this paper begins with a brief account of how the Bank came to focus on issues of governance, reviewing the major upheaval of governance in many of the Bank’s borrowing countries in the 1980s, the legal constraints the Articles of Agreement impose on the Bank’s work on governance, and a brief overview of the Bank’s initial policy statement on governance issued to the Bank’s Board in June 1991. Section three reviews major Bank work on governance as reflected in successive World Development Reports and examines the Bank’s analysis of the issue of corruption, reviewing how the Bank’s thinking on this symptom of poor governance has evolved. Section four steps back to assess what the Bank got right and some of the issues it missed or failed to address adequately. Section five draws attention to the dramatic changes experienced by the developing world in these past 25 years, and points to the need to better understand the implications of these changes for the governance context facing developing countries.
