There is a three way race for the Presidency of the World Bank. President Obama has nominated Jim Yong Kim, the President of Dartmouth College for the post, but there is strong support for Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a Nigerian born economist. Most observers believe that Kim will ultimately get the nomination since the US is the largest contributor to the World Bank and therefore has the largest number of votes. But there are good reasons to think about a non-US candidate.
