wrong footing mncs and local manufacturing zambia s 1992 1994 Structural Adjustment Program
International Business Review, 1997Co-Authors: Gerry Nkombo MuukaAbstract:It is now more than five years since the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) came to power after the October 1991 World Bank and IMF "political conditionality" induced democratic elections in Zambia. Under World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) tutelage, the MMD government embarked upon the most far-reaching market-led economic reforms ever seen in Zambia, under the Structural Adjustment Program (SAP). Using evidence from 43 companies and representatives of Zambian industry, this paper argues that the SAP (as implemented) has wrong-footed the manufacturing sector. The paper apportions the bulk of the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Zambian government, for the unrealistic policies and manner in which it has implemented the Neoclassical Counterrevolution Model, also known as market-based SAP reforms.

Wrong-footing MNCs and local manufacturing: Zambia's 1992–1994 Structural Adjustment Program

DEVALUATION INTERNE, POLITIQUES STRUCTURELLES ET REDUCTIONS DES DEFICITS PUBLICS : LES REPONSES APPORTEES PAR LA « TROIKA » SONT-ELLES UN REMEDE AUX DESEQUILIBRES EXTERNES DES PAYS PERIPHERIQUES DE LA ZONE EURO ? ASSESSING THE EFFECTS OF THE STRUCTUR
2015Co-Authors: Francisco SerranitoAbstract:L'objectif de cette note était de faire un bilan des travaux récents des effets des politiques économiques préconisées par la Troïka dans la résorption de la crise de la dette européenne. Pour l'instant, la seule réponse apportée par la Troïka est la politique d'austérité et de dévaluation interne à court terme et la mise en place de politiques structurelles de libéralisation des marchés à long terme. Nous montrons que la mise en place de ces plans d'ajustement structurel dans les pays périphériques de la zone euro provient d'une interprétation erronée

2015Co-Authors: Francisco SerranitoAbstract:This policy brief aims at reviewing recent papers on the effects of economic policies advocated by the Troika on peripheral euro zone members. Troika advocates fiscal austerity and internal devaluation policies in the short term and Structural policies of market liberalization in the long run. These policies can be considered as a new form of Structural Adjustment Programs. We show that the implementation of these Structural Adjustment Programs in the euro area peripheral countries comes from an erroneous interpretation of the origins of the crisis of sovereign debt. These Structural Adjustment Programs have, however, led to a rebalancing in these countries. The internal devaluation has allowed a reduction in their unit costs of labor and thus improves their price competitiveness. However, we show that this decrease results mainly from cyclical factors; hence it is not sustainable. We suggest, therefore, that Adjustment of intra-European imbalances can only be achieved if economic policies are modified in both the core and in the periphery of the euro zone.

State and Civil Society in Nigeria in the Era of Structural Adjustment Program, 1986–1993
State Fragility State Formation and Human Security in Nigeria, 2013Co-Authors: Mojubaolu Olufunke OkomeAbstract:This chapter focuses on state-society relationship in a situation of flux, throwing up fundamental questions regarding the nature of the state and the type of state that could best serve a country to accomplish economic and political development. It also considers a situation where the state is stuck deep in the morass of economic and political crisis and organized civil society resistance to draconian neoliberal policies. The issues that generated so much state-society conflict in the 1990s are still germane, as evidenced by the eruption of mass protests against the plans of the Goodluck Jonathan administration’s attempt to remove subsidies on petrol in January 2012, further increasing the relevance of these questions and the endeavor to answer them.

a sapped democracy the political economy of the Structural Adjustment Program and the political transition in nigeria 1983 1993
1998Co-Authors: Mojubaolu Olufunke OkomeAbstract:This book is a study of the interaction between liberal economic and political reforms in Nigeria between 1983 and 1993. The work investigates the causes and outcome of the Nigerian state's decision to undertake a simultaneous, dual transition. It considers the role of the state, multilateral organizations and domestic politics as potential causes of policy and the dynamic interaction between economic and political processes during the transition as determinants of the outcome. Few studies focus on the interaction between the role of the multilaterals, external creditors, and the state as well as the state and powerful domestic actors as determinants of development strategy on contemporary Africans. Nigeria's dual transition reveals complex power struggles by these domestic and international actors. By providing evidence of the dynamic interaction between state, society, and external forces during a period of grave economic crisis, the underlying power relations which shaped the possibility of economic recovery and democracy become evident. This book advances interdisciplinary, theoretical dialogue and contributes to policy studies by analyzing the interaction of policymaking with socioeconomic and political outcomes.

The sign value of accounting: IMF Structural Adjustment Programs and African banking reform
Critical Perspectives on Accounting, 2010Co-Authors: Dean Neu, Abu Shiraz Rahaman, Jeff Everett, Akinloye AkindayomiAbstract:This paper examines an IMF Structural Adjustment Program and the role of accounting technologies and agents within that Program. Focusing on banking sector reform in Nigeria, the paper shows how IMF attempts to remake economic life come up against formidable contextual challenges, and how accounting may or may not be taken up to confront those challenges. Specifically, it shows that even where accounting numbers are ‘managed’, the potential disciplinary power of accounting's system of signs remains, though again that power may not be exploited if those who are responsible for governing lack the necessary desire. The study's findings challenge two sets of understandings: that which sees the economy as somehow separate or distinct from the wider socio-political field, and that which sees crises such as occurred in Nigeria as simply resulting from inadequate or insufficient accounting regulations and controls.
