阿拉伯世界的许多国家，特别是中东和北非资源贫乏的国家，在过去的十到二十年里都实施了经济自由化计划。这些方案往往由国际货币基金组织和世界银行通过稳定和结构调整贷款等政策性贷款提供支持。在世界许多其他区域，特别是在拉丁美洲和撒哈拉以南非洲，1980年代和1990年代初实施的这种方案导致社会福利下降（Cornia、Jolly和Stewart 1987年，Mosley、Harrigan和Toye 1995年）。这本书探讨了中东和北非地区四个国家的社会福利趋势，这些国家在国际货币基金组织和世界银行的主持下开展了广泛的经济自由化计划，即约旦、埃及、突尼斯和摩洛哥，以了解经济自由化是否与社会福利的下降有关。之所以选择这些国家，不仅是因为它们长期的调整努力，而且还因为它们经常被国际金融机构作为成功改革者的案例，约旦、摩洛哥和突尼斯的政权通常被认为是该地区“最先进”和“成功的改革者”（Shafiq 1998年第8页），“国际货币基金组织的好学生”，他们“虔诚地遵守其戒律”（Pfeifer 1996年第40页）。
Many countries in the Arab world, especially the resource-poor countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), have undertaken economic liberalisation programmes over the past ten to twenty years. Often these programmes are supported by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank through policy-based loans such as stabilisation and structural adjustment loans. In many other regions of the world, especially in Latin America and sub-Saharan Africa, such programmes which were undertaken in the 1980s and early 1990s, have resulted in a decline in social welfare (Cornia, Jolly and Stewart 1987, Mosley, Harrigan and Toye 1995). This book explores the trends in social welfare in four countries in the MENA region which have undertaken extensive economic liberalisation programmes under the auspices of the IMF and the World Bank, namely, Jordan, Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, to see whether economic liberalisation has been associated with a decline in social welfare. These countries were chosen not just because of their prolonged adjustment efforts, but also because they are often put forward by the international financial institutions as cases of successful reformers, with regimes in Jordan, Morocco and Tunisia generally perceived as the ‘most advanced’ and ‘successful reformers’ in the region (Shafiq 1998 p. 8), ‘good pupils of the IMF’ who followed its ‘commandments religiously’ (Pfeifer 1996 p. 40).
