Discussion over the impact of economic aid and development programs in Africa has become much more than an economics debate. In order to produce more effective and humane programs of adjustment for Africa and other developing regions, debate must encompass not only economic impacts but also political, social, and human consequences. This second volume in the Consortium on Human Rights Development's special studies on adjustment programs in Africa combines theory with empirical evidence and economic with political analysis to provide the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary coverage to date on IMF and World Bank adjustment programs in Africa. Building a link between structural adjustment and human rights in Africa, it makes a case for economic and political justice through sustainable development.
GEORGE W. SHEPHERD, JR. is Professor Emeritus at the Graduate School of International Studies, University of Denver. His areas of specialization are international politics and human rights, with special interest in Africa. He is a founder and once-editor of Africa Today, and founder and director of the Center on Rights Development, University of Denver. He has authored numerous books and articles on Africa and international human rights.
