Structural Adjustment Programmes: Evaluating Success

H. W. Singer

Chapter 10 in Trade, Aid and Development, 1994, pp 172-184 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Understandably, the World Bank maintains that its structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) have been ‘successful’. These claims are made sometimes more stridently, sometimes more cautiously and with qualifications. But what does ‘successful’ mean? How do you establish it and measure it? It is to this problem that this paper is devoted.
