• Resumen

  • This article investigates the main dimensions of the performance of the European Union (EU) in the World Bank�s Executive Board, focusing specifically on the institutional and policy levels, and suggesting potential approaches to explain the EU�s field performance in World Bank�coordinated and multi-donor projects. Based on a set of different empirical sources (interviews; documentary surveys on EU, World Bank, and third-party documents), the article identifies the main determinants of the variation in the EU�s performance, and provides inputs towards an overall explanatory framework of the Union�s achievements at the World Bank.
