Description
The entry point for this book is the comprehensive critique of conventional structural adjustment presented in "Adjustment with a Human Face" (Cornia, Jolly, and Stewart, 1987) ie: the neglect of the social sectors and the poor. The book starts with this critique of structural adjustment in Pakistan and takes it further by presenting an alternative approach to social and economic development. Much of the criticism of orthodox adjustment programmes derives from an absence of justice in them. After documenting Pakistan's economic trends, human resource development, poverty situation and policy framework in a political-economic perspective, the book tackles the issues of how human development can and should be started and what the necessary institutional reforms are for this process.
