The World Bank as conveyor and broker of knowledge and funds in Argentina’s governance reforms

This study explores the role of the World Bank in two governance reforms

that have been carried out in Argentina since the mid-1990s: judicial reform and anti-corruption policies. In exploring this role, the research seeks to

analyse whether the World Bank acted either as simply a ‘conveyor’ in the

transfer of funds and knowledge or as a ‘broker’ articulating funding stra-

tegies with global and local knowledge for the implementation of politically

sensitive reforms on the ground.
