There is great debate about which regions of the world will be the most economically successful in the 21st century, but many scholars and pundits believe those regions will be the ones that can most successfully attract the so-called "knowledge" areas, such as information technology, nanotechnology, and a host of other fields. The World Bank is intimately interested in such developments, and has created this site to provide information about its Knowledge for Development program. On the site, visitors can read assessments of individual country's knowledge economy prospects, and read working papers on related topics, such as promotion innovation in developing countries. Visitors who are less familiar with the notion of the "knowledge economy", will want to watch a video interview with program manager Carl Dahlman. Finally, visitors can also read the program's quarterly newsletter, which is available here as well.
