Popis: A major cost of structural adjustment is the undermining of private extended family and official socio‐economic security networks and a consequent diminishment of confidence in the state's ability to perform even minimal welfare functions, which undermines the legitimacy of the state. Politically disillusioned with ‘national’ solutions, people increasingly may seek ‘traditional’ solutions to their daily welfare problems defined in cultural/ethnic terms.
