This dissertation examines the societal and bureaucratic politics underlying successful economic liberalization programs. Without entering the debate over the efficacy of free markets as engines of long-term economic growth, this study seeks to explain the frequent failure of so-called structural adjustment programs and to guide prospective reformers in managing the politics of change. It focuses on identifying and explaining obstacles to the implementation of economic policies after those policies have been adopted by governments in developing countries.Subjects--Topical Terms:

This dissertation examines the societal and bureaucratic politics underlying successful economic liberalization programs. Without entering the debate over the efficacy of free markets as engines of long-term economic growth, this study seeks to explain the frequent failure of so-called structural adjustment programs and to guide prospective reformers in managing the politics of change. It focuses on identifying and explaining obstacles to the implementation of economic policies after those policies have been adopted by governments in developing countries.

Three models purport to explain variation in the successful implementation of new policies: pluralist models cite interest groups as demanding and supporting change, utilitarian models look to highly trained and motivated technocrats to avoid or resist pressure to slow reform, and public administration models stress the need for well-designed legislation to limit opportunities for resistance.

This dissertation tests the explanatory power of these models against reforms implemented in Uganda from 1987 to 1998. President Yoweri Museveni began to liberalize in 1987 and eventually became an unofficial spokesperson in Africa for government downsizing. He has been praised by Western donors for his successful deregulation of the Ugandan coffee industry but faces criticism inside Uganda for his protracted and contentious attempt to reform the cotton industry. This study tested the ability of the three extant models to explain the differences in the implementation of the two programs.

This study finds that none of the models provided adequate answers. Neither program received significant support from interest groups, had preferential access to technocratic resources, or was backed by effective legislation. Instead, senior policymakers and unusually interventionist Western donors constantly monitored the coffee program, which promised to deliver desperately needed revenue. Neither group focused on problems facing cotton reform, in part because cotton promised to provide less revenue and, in part, because the southern-dominated government saw little to be gained politically by pursuing reforms that benefited northern cotton producers. Events in Uganda suggest that policy implementation is fostered by a combination of severe economic need, the promise of eventual political reward, incentive-based administration, and intervention by foreign donors or other groups outside the domestic political system.
