Structural Adjustment
Structural adjustment programmes are the largest single cause of increased poverty, inequality and hunger in developing countries. This book is the most comprehensive, real-life assessment to date of the impacts of the liberalisation, deregulation, privatisation and austerity that constitute structural adjustment. It is the result of a unique five year collaboration among citizens‘ groups, developing country governments, and the World Bank itself. Its authors, the members of the Structural Adjustment Participatory Review International Network (SAPRIN), reveal the practical consequences for manufacturing, small enterprise, wages and conditions, social services, health, education, food security, poverty and inequality. The stark conclusion emerges: if there is to be any hope for meaningful development, structural adjustment and neoliberal economics must be jettisoned.

The book is divided into three sections: Past, Present, and Future. Past is about memory. Our inability to comprehend our staggering present ...

Des outils pour le changement
Le monde se dirige-t-il vers une crise sans précédent où se juxtaposent difficultés économiques, sociales, écologiques et politiques ? C’est cette question à facettes multiples qu’examine un collectif de chercheurs de divers horizons. Premier constat : à moins de revoir le modèle de développement actuel et d’y apporter des mesures correctives, les perspectives d’avenir sont plutôt inquiétantes. Cette crise mondiale marquerait, selon ces chercheurs, le point culminant d’une longue période de politiques de développement qui ont en commun d’avoir engendré des bouleversements à travers le monde, notamment dans les pays en développement. Une approche plus proactive et...
