This article investigates the main dimensions of the performance of the European Union (EU) in the World Bank’s Executive Board, focusing specifically on the institutional and policy levels, and suggesting potential approaches to explain the EU’s field performance in World Bank–coordinated and multi-donor projects. Based on a set of different empirical sources (interviews; documentary surveys on EU, World Bank, and third-party documents), the article identifies the main determinants of the variation in the EU’s performance, and provides inputs towards an over-all explanatory framework of the Union’s achievements at the World Bank.

Abstract
This article investigates the main dimensions of the performance of the European Union (EU) in the World Bank’s Executive Board, focusing specifically on the institutional and policy levels, and suggesting potential approaches to explain the EU’s field performance in World Bank–coordinated and multi-donor projects. Based on a set of different empirical sources (interviews; documentary surveys on EU, World Bank, and third-party documents), the article identifies the main determinants of the variation in the EU’s performance, and provides inputs towards an over-all explanatory framework of the Union’s achievements at the World Bank.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
