About the Book

This title was first published in 2001: Bringing together geographers, planners, political scientists, economists, rural development specialists, bankers, public administrators and other development experts, this volume questions the benefits of Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs). It critically assesses the impact of SAPs from a wider perspective than a purely economic one, highlighting concerns about impacts of adjustments on the more vulnerable elements of society such as social welfare, the environment, labour, gender and agriculture. Revealing both the costs and benefits of the economic restructuring programme, the book also suggests alternatives to current development models, and how SAPs can be made more sustainable. An original and comprehensive addition to the collections of both students and practitioners of development.

Review :
’Here at last is a book of substance, rather than just rhetoric, about structural adjustment...written by people who know Ghana from first hand experience, not from cloistered halls. A must read for anyone interested in globalization and for all students of contemporary Africa.’ Professor James L. Newman, Syracuse University, USA 'This book provides interesting reading...The novelty lies in the fact that the evaluation is multi-disciplinary and would therefore interest a wide range of development researchers.' Journal of International Development
