Description :
Despite arguments about the necessity of restructuring, for many the use of this notion in government and business policy making is at best opportunistic and at worst deliberately exploitative. Having noted a number of empirical and moral objections to restructuring, the AA. analyze the strategies of coercion that must be used when there is resistance to restructuring. They recognize important qualifications about the utility of rational choice theory.
