Scope and content

This series consists of briefing books containing background information on specific issues relevant to Goldstein's planned meetings and trips. The books were prepared for various events, including Goldstein's travels on mission to individual countries; his meetings with country representatives visiting Bank Group headquarters; and meetings he attended on topics such as financial stability, the Bank's partnerships with G-8 shareholders, and mobilizing resources for the International Development Association's 13th and 14th replenishments (IDA13 and IDA14). Some briefing books were prepared exclusively for Goldstein, while others were likely prepared for Goldstein and other senior officials. The briefing books often contain country information, discussion points, agendas, itineraries, summaries of Bank Group activities, and other documents.
