Abstract

This paper asks, how should the World Bank and (MICs) relate to each other? What do the MICs get from the World Bank, and what does the World Bank get from the MICs? It should be immediately clear from the discussion in the paper that the MICs are a very diverse category—ranging from those that have been MICs for a long time, including some that are in IBRD-graduation territory, while others have just entered this category and face issues of transition into the category. India is one such country, and the focus is on India in this paper.
