“…The literature on ethnic federalism usually focuses on case studies of specific countries including the former Yugoslavia, Ethiopia, Nepal, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Pakistan and South Sudan (Critchley, 1993;Lawoti, 2019;Denti, 2015;Khan, 2014;Zambakari, 2015). However, due to Ethiopia's unique approach to ethnic federalism, a great deal of the literature focuses on evaluating the case of Ethiopia specifically (Engedayehu, 1993;Vestal, 1999;Crummey, 2000;Nyong'o, 2002;Cohen, 2003;Mamdani, 2005;Walle, 2005;Aalen, 2006;Mengisteab, 2007). Usually, the impetus for ethnic federalism, which is 10 considered a specific type of holding-together federalism, is a "desire to reduce group conflict, while at the same time demonstrating not only a respect for the diversity of the cultures of the given polity but also a commitment to protecting the integrity of the constituent cultures" (Keller, 2002, p.24).…”

“…Moreover, Abrha (2019) outlines how Kymlicka (2006) and Lijphart (2002) share the view that ethnic federalism could promote national unity by reducing regional secession. Conversely, scholars who oppose the implementation of ethnic federalism claim not only that ethnic democracy is an oxymoron but that it will lead to increased repression, mounting ethnic conflict, social disharmony, secession and the eventual disintegration of the state (Engedayehu, 1993;Crummey, 2000;Nyong'o, 2002;Mamdani, 2005). Further, some scholars who oppose ethnic federalism in Ethiopia suggest that ethnic federalism is a strategic maneuver "intentionally designed by the EPRDF government to "divide and rule" so as to strengthen its own position" (Vestal, 1999;Walle, 2005;Aalen, 2006).…”

This research paper offers an examination of Western print news media coverage of the ethnic-based regional conflict in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. The aim of this study is to survey the coverage of the onset of war and the representation of the relevant political actors. It begins with a historical contextualization of ethnic federalism in the nation. I examine how specific ethnic groups are portrayed in Western print news media coverage and if news media are reporting on the role of digital activists. I identify that the reporting of the onset of the crisis in Tigray relies strongly on attribution of responsibility and conflict frames. News media routinely focus on specific political actors rather than deeper ethnic tensions which shaped the country’s political system and the current conflict in Tigray. I also establish that North American news media do not adequately report the role of digital activism within Ethiopia and in the diaspora. Key words: Ethiopia; news media; digital activism; ethnic federalism; ethnic conflict; Tigray

“…Uma iconografia do sagrado provou essa importância. O recente estudo de Donald Crummey (2000) regista nada menos que onze importantes igrejas régias nas proximidades. Crummey também sublinhou que a mudança iniciada pela construção permanente em Gondar foi menos dramática do que o que um olhar europeu pode imaginar.…”

A vida urbana emerge em África

Este texto faz a introdução do livro The African city: a history publicado em 2007 e é, desde então, um marco sobre a história das cidades em África. Neste artigo, Bill Freund defende e mostra que a urbanização africana tem origem pré-colonial, desconstruindo o mito de que a cidade é uma invenção europeia, acrescentando, ainda, que “África é o cenário ideal para estudar os primórdios da urbanização”. O autor segue explicando a génese sagrada da cidade africana pré-colonial, cuja importância superava de longe a dimensão económica. Freund dá-nos uma ideia das cidades nas várias regiões do continente, desde antes dos faraós do antigo Império Egípcio até ao séc. XX, com base numa rica e crítica informação obtida de várias fontes e de variadas épocas, embora na sua maioria de autores europeus, inclui autores africanos importantes, aborda muitas questões e reforça que o futuro das sociedades e das culturas africanas provavelmente passará muito pelas cidades (Por não haver resumo no texto original, este foi feito pelos editores).

Property Rights and the Role of the State: Evidence from the Horn of Africa

This study applies extant theories of property rights change to three land tenure systems in Imperial Ethiopia. Two of the areas underwent changes in property rights after experiencing changes in the value of land; one did not. A data set of litigation over land rights is used in conjunction with case studies to understand the mechanisms motivating or impeding property rights change. Amendments to the role of the state are suggested and two conclusions are reached: (1) that movement towards greater specificity of land rights did not always occur; and (2) the changes in property rights that occurred were imposed from above, rather than occurring endogenously. Where property rights changes did not occur, they appear to have been blocked by the state, which was more concerned with political survival than with revenue maximisation.property rights theories, Imperial Ethiopia, property rights change, institutional change, exogenous institutional change,
