Democracy and Economic Development in Ethiopia
Author: Addis Alem Balema
Publisher: Red Sea Press Incorporated
ISBN: 9781569023907
Category : Democracy
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
For anyone interested in the recent economic and political development of Ethiopia since the Mengistu-regime backed by the Soviet Union was overthrown in 1991, this book is a clear must read. But the question guiding the study is indeed much broader. The author asks how can the amazing rapid economic development in a poor country such as Ethiopia, with its long and independent history and culture, be reconciled with democracy, taking into account the African context under the existing global conditions after the end of the Cold War.

Ethiopia

Publisher: Nordic Africa Institute
ISBN: 9789171065018
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
Democracy is a concept reflecting European philosophies, struggles and concerns. Many Ethiopian ethnic groups have traditions which may offer more satisfactory and culturally acceptable foundations for a “sovereignty of the people” through time-honored ways of voicing political ideas, ironic observations and vital interests. In line with modern urban life Ethiopians also organize and express their interests in non-governmental organizations, the independent press and advocacy groups representing political and social alternatives. The contributors to this book analyze the democratic potential of these movements and practices, their ability to give a voice to the view from below and their potential contribution to a more genuine participation by the majority of Ethiopians in democratic decision making and bringing the sovereignty of the people a step closer to reality.

Economic Development under Climate Change
Author: Amsalu Woldie Yalew
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3658294132
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
Amsalu Woldie Yalew attempts to address the direct and indirect economic effects of climate change, adaptation costs, and adaptation finance in developing countries with emphasis to Ethiopia using a static computable general equilibrium (CGE) model coupled with a regional module. The results show that the economy-wide effects of climate change are profound. Planned public adaptation that aims to fully neutralize climate change-induced agricultural productivity shocks may help to avert the aggregate effects but with residual effects. The results also indicate that structural change underpins climate-resilient development as it contributes to dampen the adverse consequences of climate change on aggregate GDP and households’ welfare.

Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia
Author: International Monetary Fund. African Dept.
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1513596616
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 25
Book Description
This Selected Issues paper reviews the evolution of inequality in Ethiopia and discusses the role of various macroeconomic policies as well as structural factors. With a Gini coefficient of 30, Ethiopia remains among the most egalitarian countries in the world. The most vulnerable households seem to experience less benefit from growth than those in the higher income deciles. In terms of tax revenue collection, Ethiopia faces the typical challenges of a developing country. It is required that Ethiopia builds on its successful experience with the Productive Safety Net Program to address the growing needs of the urban poor.

Ethiopia in Theory: Revolution and Knowledge Production, 1964-2016
Author: Elleni Centime Zeleke
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004414770
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Between the years 1964 and 1974, Ethiopian post-secondary students studying at home, in Europe, and in North America produced a number of journals. In these they explored the relationship between social theory and social change within the project of building a socialist Ethiopia. Ethiopia in Theory examines the literature of this student movement, together with the movement’s afterlife in Ethiopian politics and society, in order to ask: what does it mean to write today about the appropriation and indigenisation of Marxist and mainstream social science ideas in an Ethiopian and African context; and, importantly, what does the archive of revolutionary thought in Africa teach us about the practice of critical theory more generally?
