Globalisation:International Monetary Fund:People
This section will examine some of the members of the IMF who occupy key organisational roles, their history and links to other organisations. We will question what ‘type of people’ are selected to take on the key positions within the IMF. Initially we will consider the current structure and organisational pattern by discussing the role of; Dominique Strauss-Kahn (Managing Director).
Dominique Strauss- Khan is a professor in economics with the Institut d’Etudes Politiques in Paris. Between 1997 and November 1999 he held the position of Minister for Economu, Finance and industry. He is credited with several 'key successes' through this period; perhaps the key areas are his involvement in the launch of the Euro and the privatisation of the French aerospace industry. [1]
