'Structural adjustment' has been a central part of the development
strategy for the 'third world'. Loans made by the World Bank and
the IMF have been conditional on developing countries pursuing
rapid economic liberalization programmes as it was believed this
would strengthen their economies in the long run. M. Rodwan
Abouharb and David Cingranelli argue that, conversely, structural
adjustment agreements usually cause increased hardship for the
poor, greater civil conflict, and more repression of human rights,
therefore resulting in a lower rate of economic development.
Greater exposure to structural adjustment has increased the
prevalence of anti-government protests, riots and rebellion. It has
led to less respect for economic and social rights, physical
integrity rights, and worker rights, but more respect for
democratic rights. Based on these findings, the authors recommend a
human rights-based approach to economic development.
