摘要

摘要：本文从制度投影的角度研究了20世纪70年代世界银行加尔各答城市发展项目。具体而言，它侧重于世界银行加强西孟加拉邦行政能力的努力，作为城市发展成功的一部分和条件。这篇文章批判性地将世界银行定性为“反政治机器”，并认为CUDP的案例表明，该组织并没有试图将印度的发展问题非政治化，而是承认这些问题的明显政治性质，并试图通过管理手段解决这些问题。

Development Projections: The World Bank in Calcutta in the 1970s

Abstract:This article studies the World Bank's Calcutta Urban Development Project (CUDP) in the 1970s through the lens of institutional projection. Specifically, it focuses on the World Bank's effort to strengthen the administrative capacity of the state of West Bengal as part of and as a condition for the success of urban development. The article critically engages with the characterization of the World Bank as an 'anti-politics machine' and argues that case of the CUDP shows that the organization, rather than trying to depoliticize India's development problems, acknowledged the distinctly political nature of these problems and tried to solve them with managerial means.
