Abstract
Abstract The institutional context for development activities began to be established soon after the end of World War II. Political motives were mixed, but the core economic objective was to improve living standards in the less developed countries. The problems of development were thrust upon these institutions by the breakup of colonial empires in Asia and Africa. In the brief span of five years after the war, India, Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma, the Philippines, Indonesia, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Israel all became independent. Colonialism was on the way out far more speedily than had first seemed possible at the end of the war, and many more colonies soon emerged as nations. With the “revolution of rising expectations,” leaders of the new nations insisted that international attention be given to their development problems.
