This publication contains a number of papers written by former World Bank country directors in which they reflect on their experiences both as managers of the World Bank's activities around the world during the 1990s, as well as throughout their careers in development economics. These essays explore the operational implications for the World Bank as an institution during this extraordinarily eventful decade in a broad range of countries and regions including China and India, Russia, the Balkans, the Middle East, Tanzania and Uganda, Turkey and Argentina.
