{"product_id":"the-challenge-of-structural-adjustment-ramesh-ramsaran-9780275942090","title":"The Challenge of Structural Adjustment in the Commonwealth Caribbean","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work analyzes recent economic performance in the Commonwealth Caribbean by examining the IMF\/World Bank Structural Adjustment Package and its relation to the deteriorating economic and social conditions in this part of the world. Ramesh F. Ramsaran not only takes a critical look at structural adjustment as it has been applied in the Caribbean but also examines recent structural adjustment theory in general and some of its contradictions in practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRamsaran argues that if structural adjustment programs are to be effective with minimum social cost, their design must take into account the specific conditions of individual countries. This argument against the general application of policies and principles remains firm, despite the fact that international aid agencies in the 1980s did find general guidelines useful in particular situations. His analysis will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers in international and development economics and international finance and trade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ramesh Ramsaran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275942090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275942090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/16\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.54h x 6.34w x 0.86d","brand":"Ramesh Ramsaran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013714063615,"sku":"9780275942090","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87029894-c640-42ea-a28d-850f8d4ee288.jpg?v=1767744310","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-challenge-of-structural-adjustment-ramesh-ramsaran-9780275942090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
