Description:Unequal Alliance, 1979-1986The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) have been among the primary influences on Third World development since the Second World War. Over the past decade, that influence has grown markedly as both institutions have been thrust into leading roles in managing the international debt crisis and in steering a group of developing countries into "structural adjustment" via export-oriented industrialization. No country commanded more of their attention over this period than the Philippines under the twenty-year rule of President Ferdinand Marcos.Through interviews with dozens of Philippine representatives of government and business, Unequal Alliance chronicles the Philippine experiment with "structural adjustment." It explores the process by which the World Bank and the IMF trained technocrats, adapted existing government institutions, and created new ones to mold their version of development.This study is particularly relevant to the development debate of the late 1980s, for the central remedy that the World Bank and the IMF are offering to the dozens of countries mired in external debt is structural adjustment along the early 1980s Philippine model. Among the countries that are targeted--once again--is the Philippines under President Corazon Aquino. Unequal Alliance demonstrates why this model of development is harmful to the poorer majorities in developing countries, and how it is particularly inappropriate in a world economy of vastly reduced growth. In arguing for a rethinking of development strategy based on a different relationship with the world economy, this book provides a provocative new blueprint for Third World development and the role of international organizations such as the World Bank and the IMF.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
