In the 1990s, some commentators find the World Bank shifting to a revised neoliberal model stressing market-friendly state intervention and good governance (political pluralism,
accountability and the rule of law), conditions found typical of the East Asian ‘miracle economies’ (Kiely, 1998) The culmination of this trend towards ‘neoliberalism with a human face’ was the 1999/2000 World Development Report’s ‘Comprehensive Development Framework’ (CDF) with two complementary parts: a stable macroeconomy shaped by prudent scal and monetary policies; and the CDF itself, stressing: honest governments; strong property and personal rights supported by an efficient legal and judicial system; human development, as with education and health; physical infrastructure; and sectoral elements like integrated rural development strategies and urban management (World Bank, 1999).
