First sentence: had been neglected. Growing international concern about the social costs of adjustment implementation, epitomised by the publication in 1987 of UNICEF's plea for "adjustment with a human face" (Cornia et al., 1987), combined with the increasing awareness of the lacklustre performance of the adjustment policies in tackling Africa's deepening economic crisis to propel interest in the analysis of the political and administrative context for economic reform and how they might be managed.
