Abstract

Le retournement idéologique opéré au début des années 1980 marque l'avènement de stratégies de développement libérales qui fondent le consensus de Washington. Nous souhaitons mesurer l'impact de ce dernier sur les pays en développement. Pour ce faire, nous créons dans un premier temps un indicateur numérique de suivi du consensus de Washington. Cet indicateur multidimensionnel est obtenu par une analyse en composantes principales de ses dix dimensions. Il permet de chiffrer, de 1980 à 2000, le degré d'engagement de 98 pays en développement dans le train de mesures prôné par les institutions financières internationales. D'autre part, il montre que le consensus de Washington n'est pas applicable dans l'intégralité de ses dix dimensions. Sur la base de cet indicateur, il est alors possible dans un second temps de confronter le degré de mise en œuvre du consensus au degré de réalisation de certains objectifs tels que la croissance, le développement, la réduction de la dette, la baisse des inégalités ou encore l'ouverture au commerce mondial. Ce faisant, nous montrons que les pays appliquant fidèlement les recommandations du consensus de Washington n'ont globalement pas obtenu de meilleurs résultats que les autres. Face à ce constat d'échec, la voie du post-consensus est alors explorée. The ideological reversal operated at the beginning of the 80's marks the advent of liberal development strategies which found the Washington consensus. We are interested in measuring the impact of this last on developing countries. With this intention, we initially create a numerical indicator of Washington consensus adoption. This multidimensional indicator is obtained by means of a principal components analysis of its ten dimensions. It makes it possible to quantify, from 1980 to 2000, the degree of commitment of 98 developing countries in the batch of measures advocated by the international financial institutions. Moreover, it shows that the Washington consensus is not applicable in th
