The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank are two supranational institutions with mandates to help resolve economic crises and to foster economic development. From their creation in 1945 with a membership of 45 countries, these institutions have grown to over 180 member countries; but they have the same clients, provide a similar service - conditional loans, and are subject to similar criticisms regarding adherence to what has been labeled as the Washington consensus.

The nation state is being undermined by the lack of control over finance in the global market because citizens still expect their governments to secure economic development without control. State autonomy and legitimacy needs to find a basis other than economic to respond to current anti-establishment movements. Therefore, to prevent either the collapse of civilized societies or protectionist financial policies, a new concept of nation states, excluding economic control, is necessary and international capital mobility should be promoted.
