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
After the collapse of the military regime in 1991, Ethiopia's
successor state, which is led by the Ethiopian Peoples'
Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), has been faced with the
task of putting democratic ideals into practice under conditions of
great economic scarcity. Democracy, based on group rights, and
decentralization of the country on ethno-lingual criteria are two
ideals of the new federal constitution. Political Power and
Democratization in Ethiopia examines the problems with Ethiopian
democratization efforts and how these problems can be solved.
