		<description><![CDATA[By Lant Pritchett - The World Bank’s Board committed itself in April 2011 to choosing its next president through an &#8220;an open, structured, deliberate process.”   Currently there are nearly unanimous calls for the selection among the existing three nominees to be based on an “open, transparent, competitive and merit-based” process.  Unfortunately the “smart money” in the world’s capitals still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Lant Pritchett - The US had a chance to lead.  It abdicated that chance to play domestic politics and put forward a US nominee who is manifestly less qualified to be head of the World Bank than the alternative candidate nominated by African countries: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. The World Bank is a full-service development institutions that provides loans and [...]]]></description>
