Synopsis
Ghana has been widely quoted as an example of successful adjustment in Africa. This has been followed by a successful adjustment to democracy. What factors have impelled these changes and how are they to be interpreted? This volume examines questions such as: what would have been the difference in performance if adjustment had not been initiated? What is the actual role of policy changes in determining economic outcomes? What is the effect of time-lag? What is the relationship between macroeconomic and microeconomic performance and between stabilization and adjustment? Ghana has arguably been more successful with stabilization than with adjustment. In a nuanced and subtle analysis, this study finally faces central questions: success in relation to what? Success from whose point of view? Published in association with UNRISD North America: Heinemann; Ghana: Woeli Publishing Services

Review
... Ghana turned from what was widely perceived as one of Africa's most militant to one that was regarded by the IMF and World Bank as the region's star pupil ... initial reports after nearly 18 months in power suggest that (the post-Rawlings regime) is having as little success dealing with Ghana's endemic economic problems as Rawlings' government did in its later years. If anyone wants to know why this is the case, Hutchful's book is an excellent starting point. The reader will also find much here of wider relevance to Africa's continuing economic and development quandaries. In short, this is a tour de force, which can be read with much profit not only by the Ghana specialist but also by those more widely interested in attempts at structural adjustment in Africa. - Jeff Haynes in JOURNAL OF COMMONWEALTH & COMPARATIVE STUDIES I found the book to be a finely balanced record of events and a convincing treatise. - Mike Bristow in DEMOCRACY & DEVELOPMENT
