Tow opposing viewpoints of debt being paid back through SAPs are discussed. Health indicators are chosen to study the effects SAPs have had on Bolivia. These indicators show, when possible, data before and after the first SAP took place in Bolivia in 1985. The indicators show that Bolivia has improved in each of the five health indicators presented.
Download or read book The Alleviation of Poverty Under Structural Adjustment written by Lionel Demery and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1987-01-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study has identified a number of examples in which concerns about the alleviation of poverty have been given some practical expression in adjustment programs. Because most of these examples are of very recent origin, it is difficult to assess how effective they have been in helping the poor. First, one striking feature of the illustrations compiled is that they are invariably orderly or planned structural adjustment programs that have often been implemented with Bank assistance (Bolivia, Cote d'Ivoire, The Gambia, Indonesia, Jamaica, and Thailand). Second, income distributions will inevitably change during adjustment. These changes are the principal incentives for resource reallocation, and without them the objectives of adjustment will not be realized. Third, the study highlights the advantages of interventions that increase the primary income claims of the poor. Finally, adjustment can act as a catalyst for policymakers to examine carefully the costs and benefits of their programs for the poor.

Book excerpt: During the 1980's, much of Latin America experienced a dual transformation. As the Third Wave of Democracy took hold of the region, the debt-crisis of the early 1980's led many nations to adopt economic liberalization reform packages. These economic reforms were often necessary components of the Structural Adjustment Agreements tied to loans from International Financial Institutions, such as the IMF and World Bank. Proponents of economic liberalization promote the idea that the implementation of this economic philosophy will lead to social development in numerous sectors of society, such as health, education, labor, and governance. In fact, an oft-noted aphorism applied to economic liberalization is, 'a rising tide raises all boats.' This thesis will seek to explore the validity of the claim that economic liberalization results in social development, and in particular, improvements in governance. I argue that the highest form of government is that of a liberal democracy, or a system of governance in which the following five necessary conditions are met: (1) citizen participation, (2) rule of law, (3) competition, (4) vertical accountability and responsiveness and (5) horizontal accountability. Part 1 of this thesis serves as a review of the literature pertaining to democratic theory, market democracy, and economic transitions in Latin America. Part II of this thesis works to apply these theories to the case of Bolivia, examining the years 1985-2006. I conclude that democratic improvement occurred during the neoliberal regimes spanning from 1985-2006, as improvements in the electoral, administrative, and judicial systems further consolidated democracy by facilitating greater participation by the indigenous population of Bolivia and strengthening the rule of law and trust in the government. Interestingly, the improvements to Bolivian democracy that occurred under right-wing administration facilitated the rise of the populist, left-wing MAS party and its figurehead, President Evo Morales.
