AB - Since 1980s, The World Bank has been autocriticized its neoliberal reform programs and pushed ahead with governance, a kind of concensual decision-making mechanism around which international organizations,national governments, and NGOs. This study explains the construction of governance discourse of the Bank from the view of the competitions among scientific communities for the international standarization of expertise. That is to say, this study analyses not only the role of the Bank as an international development organization but also its role as a kind of “symbolic bank” which legitimize certain policy ideas and applied them to the real policies. The scientific competitions around policy reforms is not limited to professional games but they are conducted in a mixed fields constructed by scientific, economic, and political sub-fields. The symbolic power in this fields are the officials in the international organization, economists, high-profiled bankers, and the elites of civil society organizations and the governance discourse constructed by these stake-holders is the result from the moral, scientific, economic, and political struggles
