Abstract
Jean Cartier-Bresson — The World Bank, corruption and governance. The article presents a critical analysis of the way the World Bank apprehends the State, through «good governance» as a depoliticised form of power relationships. It studies the manner in which the concept provides the referential framework for the fight against corruption by the international institution, as part of the economic liberalisation package. It argues that a strategy based on the virtues of social networks and on the reduction of the public sector involvement in weak, hardly democratic States, may drive corruption from past forms to new ones, instead of reducing the phenomenon.
