Africa: Denying democracy - How the IMF and World Bank take power from people

This report from the World Development Movement is concerned with democracy; a complex issue at the best of times, made even more complex not only by the many local, regional and national struggles for self-determination across the globe but also by the development of supra-national decision-making bodies that are many times removed from individual citizens. It is this latter complexity, and in particular the actions of the two principal International Financial Institutions (IFIs) - the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) - that provides the focus for this report.
