Download or read book The Political Economy of an African Society in Tranformation the Case of Macca Oromo Ethiopia written by Tesema Ta'a and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The official historiography of the Ethiopian Empire as well as the majority of the publications on Ethiopian history by European authors used to view the country as a single cultural whole, and to deal only with the history of the Christian empire. The different historical experiences of the Ethiopian multiethnic society and culture used to be usually ignored. In contrast to such one-sided approach this book deals with the Macca Oromo activities, social transformation and historical experiences in the western part of Central Ethiopia, focusing on the political economy of the region. The sources for the book include: 1. written documents in Ethiopian languages (Amharic and Ge'ez), e.g. archival materials, 2. reports by European travellers and missionaries, 3. recent secondary literature, and 4. traditions and oral history collected mainly in Wallagga in 1972-73 and 1979-80. In that region the Macca states had played an important political and economical role until they were subjugated by the order of Menelik II and incorporated into the Ethiopian Empire at the end of the 19th century. Tesema Ta'a belongs to the first generation of the Ethiopian historiographers who graduated from Addis Ababa University in the seventies, and later formed the teaching staff of the History department in Addis Ababa.

This book was released on 2018-09-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located in central Ethiopia, the Arssi region is one of the most productive in Ethiopia yet it has so far been neglected by scholars. This book scrutinizes the rural development of Arssi by focusing on the Swedish supported experimental venture known as the Chilalo Agricultural Development Unit (CADU) and later as the Arssi Rural Development Unit (ARDU). Ketebo Abdiyo Ensene investigates how effectively this strategy empowered the peasantry to change their farming techniques and produce beyond subsistence level. He also examines the accumulation of alienated land by the northern Ethiopian nobility through land grants, fake purchases, and other futile means of land grabs and the impact that this had on the native population. Finally, the book reassess the importance of the rural land reform of 1975 that followed the collapses of the imperial regime and argues that this was the most significant event in the history of agricultural development in Ethiopia. The assessment of the book in fact goes into the post-1991 period in relation with agrarian development. The Political Economy of Land and Agrarian Development in Ethiopia will be of interest to scholars of Ethiopia, African Studies, economic history, political economy, development and agriculture.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Ethiopia written by Marina Ottaway and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1990-08-24 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected here evolved from a two-day conference on Ethiopia held at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. Written by both academics and Ethiopians who have participated personally in the events they discuss, the papers describe and interpret the Ethiopian revolution and explore its successes, failures, and intrinsic qualities. The contributors express a variety of viewpoints and approaches to the current crisis situation in Ethiopia, demonstrating that although the 15-year revolution has failed to measurably improve the lot of Ethiopians, Ethiopia's history, demographics, and climate have also been important contributing factors. A number of articles deal with aspects of the political crisis while others analyze the economic crisis, looking at present problems and their historical roots. Taken together, these essays make a major contribution to our understanding of the persistent problems faced by Ethiopia today. Following the editor's introduction, the volume is divided into three sections. In Part I, four papers explore the Ethiopian state and the problem of power. Individual chapters examine such issues as change and continuity in Ethiopian politics, decisions and elections, and the question of rural transformation. Part II looks at different facets of the national question, now or in the past--the character of the leadership, the concept of government, and the decision-making process. The third section analyzes the current economic crisis in two papers which discuss Ethiopia's agricultural crisis and development strategy. The concluding chapter presents an overall perspective on revolution, nationality, and the Ethiopian state. Students of political economy, African studies, and economic development will find The Political Economy of Ethiopia illuminating reading.
Download or read book The Political Economy of Central America Since 1920 written by V. Bulmer-Thomas and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1987-12-10 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book Victor Bulmer-Thomas uses his previously unpublished estimates of the national accounts to explore economic and social development in the five Central American republics from 1920. He examines in detail variations in economic policy between countries which help to account for differences in performance. The major political developments are woven into the analysis and linked to changes in internal and external conditions. Growth under liberal oligarchic rule in the 1920s, heavily dependent on exports of coffee and bananas, was accompanied by modest reform programmes. The 1929 depression, which hit the region hard, undermined most of the reforms and ushered in a period of dictatorial rule in all republics except Costa Rica. The Second World War, particularly after the entry of the United States, at first strengthened the dictatorships, but ultimately produced challenges to rule by authoritarian caudillos. The social upheavals accompanying the post-war export-led boom forced governments in each republic to address the question of economic, social and political reform.
Download or read book State and Economic Development in Africa written by Aaron Tesfaye and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically assesses the impact of Ethiopia’s policy of Agriculture Development Led Industrialization. Employing qualitative and quantitative analysis, it presents empirical evidence suggesting persistent economic growth. The research highlights improvements in infrastructure, health care, education, poverty alleviation as well reductions in infant mortality rate. The impact of this economic growth has however had led to only slight improvements in the plight of the poor. The author argues that, while significant steps have been achieved with measurable economic gains, there are still undeniable obstacles within the federal system: prevailing patron-client relationships, constraints on state capacity to efficiently and effectively implement policy, and bureaucratic rent-seeking in the provision of public goods. The author concludes that these problems will have to be resolved before Ethiopia’s political economy can achieve the stage of sustainable development

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ETHIOPIA'S MIRACULOUS ECONOMIC GROWTH THAT NEVER WAS This book brings together twenty five articles that have been written on Ethiopia's current affairs during the country's latest popular unrest (2013-2018). Regardless of the timing of the commentaries, the contents of most pieces reflect circumstances that have prevailed during the reign of the EPRDF (1991-2018). The primarily motive for the writings was to seek answer to the burning issue of Ethiopia's troubled years: what cumulative policy blunders the EPRDF government was making all along to end up with such catastrophic outcomes? Human rights organizations, political activists and opposition parties have done a reasonably good job in scrutinizing and exposing EPRDF's undemocratic governance and gross human right abuses. However, EPRDF's economic policies have always been analyzed in the most unsatisfactory and even bizare ways. In order to fill this gap, economic policy matters were the focus of almost all of the articles contained in this book. The international community was baffled by the popular uprising that errupted in 2015 in Oromia and then spread to all corners of Ethiopia like a forest fire. Until then the prevailing storyline was that Ethiopia was experiencing a miraculous economic growth. But if Ethiopia's economy was really growing at double digit rate per annum for over a decade, then why have Ethiopians in all walks of life protested so vigorously? The existence of draconian press laws meant domestic print and broadcast media were decimated long before the protest years. Personal safety or geopolitical concerns meant foreign correspondents were simply unwilling or unable to even begin to scratch the surface, never mind capturing the nuances of EPRDF's deceptive economic growth rhetoric. There were times when foreign correspondents even resorted to using simplistic indicators, such as high rise buildings in Addis Ababa, to pass judgment on Ethiopians overall economic performance. Dismayed and somewhat frustrated by the gross misinformation regarding EPRDF's economy policies, the author started to write articles and contribute to print and online media to bring some rigor to the debate.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Ethiopian Economy written by Fantu Cheru and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a war-torn and famine-plagued country at the beginning of the 1990s, Ethiopia is today emerging as one of the fastest-growing economies in Africa. Growth in Ethiopia has surpassed that of every other sub-Saharan country over the past decade and is forecast by the International Monetary Fund to exceed 8 percent over the next two years. The government has set its eyes on transforming the country into a middle-income country by 2025, and into a leading manufacturing hub in Africa. The Oxford Handbook of the Ethiopian Economy studies this country's unique model of development, where the state plays a central role, and where a successful industrialization drive has challenged the long-held erroneous assumption that industrial policy will never work in poor African countries. While much of the volume is focused on post-1991 economic development policy and strategy, the analysis is set against the background of the long history of Ethiopia, and more specifically on the Imperial period that ended in 1974, the socialist development experiment of the Derg regime between 1974 and 1991, and the policies and strategies of the current EPRDF government that assumed power in 1991. Including a range of contributions from both academic and professional standpoints, this volume is a key reference work on the economy of Ethiopia.
