Abstract
Globalization represents an opportunity
to add local value to emerging markets. That opportunity is
the underlying theme of this volume, which brings together
in edited form the papers and comments presented on
globalization at the International Finance Corporation (IFC)
Annual Participants Meeting held in Washington D.C. on June
6-7, 2001. IFC sees itself at the very center of the
globalization process. No other financial institution stands
at the dividing line between the entire developed world and
the entire developing world, between the public sector and
the private sector, between economic, financial, and
environmental realities on the one hand, and government
policy objectives on the other. Because of its status,
because it must deal with the issues surrounding
globalization every day, and because it always operates
through partnerships with other financial institutions, IFC
is in a unique position to take the lead in grasping this opportunity.
