The new public management policy norm on the ground: A comparative analysis of the World Bank’s experience in Chile and Argentina

Introduction Scholars have been dedicated to analysing the changes in the World Bank's discourse in general terms (Miller-Adams 1999; Paloni and Zanardi 2006; Vetterlein 2006) and in particular policy areas (Park 2007b; Stone and Wright 2007; Wade 1996). Other works have focused on the conceptu...
