This paper claims that the production of social knowledge by international organizations is problematic because of their nature as a form of public bureaucracy. It uses the World Bank as a case study to highlight the problems inherent in managing social research. The authors argue that not only do managerial constraints limit what the bank is willing to publish, but binding constraints on publication change over time, depending on managerial objectives and competence in exercising editorial control over research output.
