Editorial: The Structural Adjustment of Structural Adjustment: Sub-Saharan Africa 1980-1993

Abstract: Summary Two major problems confront an outsider seeking to understand, or a newcomer seeking to participate in structural adjustment: first it has a deceptively familiar terminology in which familiar words have specialized (and changing) meanings and second, structural adjustment in SSA has been radically adjusted over the past decade.
