      abstract = {This book uses institutional data to examine and analyze  the current governance structures of Multilateral Financial  Institutions (MFIs) with the ultimate goal of reforming MFI  governance models to be more responsive to the needs of  developing countries. Founded in the post-World War II era,  MFIs, collectively known as the Bretton Woods Financial  Institutions (BWFIs), were created to promote global  economic development and financial stability. This book  argues, however, that the governance structures and  policies of the MFIs have been biased in favour of  developed country members, excluding less economically  advanced countries from decision-making processes and  perpetuating the economic status quo. Considering the  inability of MFIs to adequately respond to the financial  needs of developing countries, the book raises an  alternative proposal for BWFI reform, based on the  following criteria: (i) encouraging development incentives,  (ii) favouring development learning through knowledge  transfer and easing its appropriation by developing  countries, and (iii) guiding and facilitating access to  private international financial markets. Combining  historical economic analysis with policy recommendations  for the future, this book will be of particular interest to  students and researchers of development economics,  governance, and MFIs, as well as practitioners working with  the institutions studied.--},
