The political economy of post-adjustment - Hakim Ben Hammouda

Hammouda?s text is of genuine interest for specialists in development issues. It focuses on modernisation experiences in the South which, in the 80s had reached their limits, with the adoption of structural adjustment programmes in most countries. - - Yet, such Washington Consensus inspired programmes met difficulties in initiating new growth dynamics in these countries and in improving their international insertion. Hence, a new era termed post-adjustment by the author has been ushered in, one which is characterized by a decline of structural adjustment programmes and through dynamic and plural research, is striving to introduce new theoretical practices and development strategies. This book is a contribution to such debate.
