Reforming Public Institutions and Strengthening Governance
The critical importance of well-performing public institutions and good governance for development and poverty reduction has come to the forefront in the 1990s. Reforming public institutions is a complex and difficult task. This publication is primarily intended as a guide for World Bank staff but it is also intended to serve the broader development community. It outlines a strategy which envisions significant changes in the focus of the Bank's work in this area. Some of these changes such as an enhanced focus on governance, capacity building and anticorruption, are already underway. The agenda for the next three years is to continue to foster these changes through a the advancement of analytical tools, new approaches t the design of lending operations, expanded emphasis on partnership with clients and other donors and progressive shifts in staffing, incentives and evaluation techniques. Included as an annex is an inventory of the Bank's governance and institutional reform programs which are in place.
Faith in the Face of Militarization
What does believing mean in the face of empire and militarization? These essays articulate the critical and liberating consciousness shared by oppressed peoples across the world, arising from a faith in the God of the oppressed, expressed in radically diverse ways, and resisting the imperialist deities of materialism (read: economic growth), racism, and militarization that falsely appear as the saviors of humanity.

La cuestión del sujeto político decolonial en el Ecuador de la Revolución Ciudadana
El objeto de la investigación es abordar la cuestión del sujeto político decolonial en el contexto de la Revolución Ciudadana del Ecuador (2007-2017). En el marco histórico, se identifican las luchas decoloniales del Ecuador como antecedentes para la conformación de un bloque y de un proyecto contra hegemónico con el fin de superar el neoliberalismo. En la tesis se analiza, a partir de una perspectiva gramsciana del Estado ampliado, el proceso de recuperación del Estado por parte de Alianza PAIS (Patria Altiva i Soberana), señalando tanto los potenciales decoloniales (en la disputa política, económica, social y cultural), como los rasgos autoritarios y (neo) coloniales del régimen de Rafael Correa. En segundo lugar, se analizan el proceso económico y algunas políticas públicas implementadas por Alianza PAIS, que consolidan el sistema de acumulación capitalista por medio de una modernización. Finalmente se analiza la cuestión del sujeto político decolonial, para lo cual se elabora una definición, se expone su trascendencia para la transformación social y se configura su relación con los gobiernos de Rafael Correa.
