Can an implementation-driven analysis of project success be used as a more granular instrument for assessing the effectiveness of World Bank project By focusing on how projects perform, this paper attempts to capture variation hitherto unexplored in the aid effectiveness literature. This offers greater precision for diagnosing implementation challenges throughout the project cycle, producing a cross-cutting instrument that reaches across country-, time-, and sector- based approaches. Using data from the Global Delivery Initiative's "Delivery Challenges in Operations for Development Effectiveness" database and indicators from more than 5,000 lending projects (1995 - 2015), the paper examines project performance and the achievement of development objectives across 42 specific delivery challenges. Bayesian model averaging is used for a holistic assessment of the relative impacts of each challenge alongside a battery of structural and contextual covariates. The findings show that issues of project design, ineffective monitoring, and weak organizational capacity have systematically hindered the World Bank's performance and achievement of the indicators. Conversely, while financial instability and weaknesses in stakeholder engagement can hinder success, their identification and treatment ultimately improves project performance.

During the 1980s and 1990s Asian 'developmental states' attracted much attention in political science and economics literature, but the role of law in the economic development was neglected. It was only after the Asian crisis of 1997 that many analysts began to focus on a lack of regulation and transparency as a major factor triggering the crisis. The crucial questions now are how successful the current reforms will be, and which features of the Asian approach to commercial law will be resistant to reform pressures. This book examines the prospects for commercial law reform in Asia, giving particular attention to Japan and Singapore, as frequently cited role models for Asian developmentalism, and also examining development related business laws in countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

The newly adopted post-2015 development agenda is centered on 17 sustainable development goals to be reached by 2030. This volume of the World Bank Legal Review looks at how law and justice systems can support the financing and implementation of these goals, including the role of the rule of law and economic and social rights. The contributors, including legal scholars, development practitioners, and financial experts, analyze the goals, explore ways in which they can be achieved, and examine ways that recent relevant law and justice programs have worked. A wide array of topics are covered, from the legal aspects of collecting and monitoring vital data, to improving legal identity programs, to creating innovative health care regulation, to legal and judicial reform, to providing private sector-financing of public education projects to the provision of global public goods. Additionally, a special section on Europe looks at financial crisis management, enforcement of court decisions and the workings of the European Court of Justice. The opportunities and challenges of the 2030 agenda are many. This volume looks at both from multiple perspectives, demonstrating how sustainable development can go forward in a way in which everyone benefits.
