Dear all,

Back in december I asked for your favorite writing on the treatment of the World Bank by development scholars. We were particularly interested on funding aid related to fisheries, coastal-marine environments, but in general was to be useful. 
Below is the list I got and here it is back to the community. Thank you to all that replied and the old friends that took a pause to say hi! 
Best wishes, Xavier
