Abstract
Claims that structural adjustment and stabilization (henceforth ‘adjustment’) programmes are directly responsible for conflict lack empirical support1 and smack of economism. Yet, to the extent that economic forces contribute to the origins of CHEs, policy will affect the likelihood of such crises.2 This chapter explores the role of adjustment policies in the origins of conflict, and the implications for economic policies, especially for designing WB and IMF adjustment.
