Abstract
The 1990s has been a painful decade for those concerned with progressive social change. In the West mainline policy discourse has shifted so far right that those left behind often feel disoriented, disillusioned, and defeated. Such is at least partially the case with the new detente between some progressives and the Bretton Woods institutions. This topsy-turvy political climate has engendered a peculiar rapprochement between progressive Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and the World Bank.
