Abstract: | This special issue of Northeast African Studies contains essays on the dimensions and challenges of building democratic institutions for development, with a focus on Ethiopia. Most of the papers were presented at the International Conference on Ethiopian Development Issues (ICEDS), held at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, 16-18 August 2001. Also included are papers given at ICEDS conferences 11-12 July 2003 and 18-19 July 2005, both held in Ethiopia. Most of the articles were selected by the late Professor Harold Marcus before his death in 2003. After a general Introduction by Sisay Asefa the six essays are: Democracy and development: are there lessons from Turkey's experience applicable to Ethiopia? by Paul B. Henze (like Ethiopia, Turkey roughly the same population, was never colonized, has an ancient civilization, is torn by political strife); Theoretical underpinnings of bureaucratic neutrality in an ethnic federalism by Berhanu Mengistu and Elizabeth Vogel; Developing democratic institutions in Ethiopia: the challenge of building enabling insitutions for economic growth and development by Sisay Asefa; Ethnicity, economic conditions, and opposition support: evidence from Ethiopia's 2005 elections by Leonardo R. Arriola; Ethiopian macroeconomic modeling in historical perspective: bringing Gebre-Hiwot and his contemporaries to the Ethiopian macroeconomics realm by Alemayehu Geda (Gebre-Hiwot Baykedagne was an early twentieth-century Ethiopian development economist); and Macroeconomic development and private sector performance in Ethiopia: the 1990s experience by Melesse M. Tashu. [ASC Leiden abstract] |
