Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) are an important feature of contemporary development, yet they are often evaluated in the terms set out by lenders themselves, ignoring the wider implications of SAPs.
Structural Adjustment attempts to situate SAPs in a wider development context featuring case material from the UK, USA, Ghana, Mexico, India, Jamaica, Turkey, Eastern Europe, Mali, Zimbabwe and Sierra Leone, the book addresses SAPs in the lenders' terms, before addressing macro-economic issues, the impacts on social groups, and the impact upon welfare policies such as education and health. Beyond economic analysis, the role of the state in the process, the impact of these programmes on services and the environment are also analysed.

Industry Reviews

"Overall," Structural Adjustment: Theory, Practice and Impacts is an impressive piece of scholarly work. The book was well conceptualized, well structured, well written, and very accessible. The book is not only an important addition to the large compendium of literature on SAP's, but more than most others it provides the full history of these programs and a more in-depth analysis of SAP's...
