This is the 20th annual edition of the World Development Report. It is a standard reference work for international economic data. This edition focuses on the role of the state in a changing world. It shows where the World Bank believes the state has a role in the provision of goods and services and where it thinks development would be better served by leaving the task to the private sector.
