The last decade has brought sharp adjustment and rising poverty for most of the developing world. Adjustment and Poverty: Options and Choices examines the major causes and results of this situation, including:
*the relationship between structural adjustment and poverty;
*the extent to which the situation was brought about by internal and/or external policies;
*the impact of the IMF and World Bank on adjusting countries;
*government tax and spending policies - with a particular focus on social sector spending;
*the possiblity of better policies in the future.
Frances Stewart is Director of the International Development Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, Oxford. She was Special Adviser on Adjustment Policies to UNICEF and is a Council member of the United Nations University. She has published widely on a range of development topics and is recognised as a leading authority on this subject.
