While the design of adjustment policies in the latter part of the 1980s
has generally shown greater attention to their impact on growth and
social implications, this book argues that several orthodox adjustment
policies are still incongruent with long-term development in Africa. It
goes on to discuss a development strategy which could lead to a much
awaited economic recovery and improvement in social conditions in Africa
in the 1990s drawing its conclusions from a general theoretical
discussion and national case-studies.
