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.
