Abstract
AbstractThis chapter investigates the influence of the World Bank in the formulation of Social Health Insurance law in Albania. Findings suggest that in the case of Albania, although the external influence was not able to determine the policy choice, it did, however, to some extent, shape policy formulation. The World Bank offered its expertise and assistance in formulating details of related law and defining the parameters of the future contributory system. Another important finding relates to the position of the World Bank in preserving the model of financing health through general tax revenues. That is contrary to the expectation that any idea uttered by the World Bank is neoliberal.
