Publisher Description
This paper is a follow up in the Pakistani context of the issues raised in UNICEFs classic contribution to the political economy of development, Adjustment With a Human Face [Cornia, Jolly and Stewart (1987), henceforth AWHF]. It tries to set out the issues involved in understanding why despite four decades of development has there not been a significant move towards meeting the basic needs of the population. Our argument is that reliance on the cultural norms of justice and humanness--particularly as regards vulnerable groups--as the basis of choosing priorities and designing policies, is a means and not an obstacle to systainable growth and structural adjustment.
