Abstract

The Democratic Developmental State (DDS) model was attempted during the tenure of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Revolutionary Democratic Front’s (EPRDF) in Ethiopia. In this paper, an effort has been made hence to explore some economic blessings and political curses incurred, cases for launching and now terminating DDS, and the reform-led changes and continuities in the political economy of Ethiopia. In doing so, the researcher has depended on a qualitative approach and in-depth content analysis of secondary data sources. The finding revealed that the ideological confrontations and lusts for power coupled with the fragile institutional and structural profiles of the EPRDF-led government have precipitated the abortion of the embryonic DDS. Indeed, in the pursuit of DDS, a trade-off between promoting democracy and achieving economic development has remained at a tolerable cost. In consequence, protracted popular grievances against the unequal distribution of benefits have been accompanied by paving the birth of a new leadership submissive to the Neo-Liberal recipes. Now, the state seems as it goes to start from scratch despite some belief that the new leadership appears to regurgitate the footsteps of its predecessor EPRDF rebranding the infamous legacy. It has been found that the reformist part of the government has been facing coordination problems to materialize the political and economic reforms. To this effect, early costs of the beginnings of the reform have been encountered. For that reason, the researcher suggests that the incumbent government should constitutionally and inclusively overcome the state-wide leadership crisis to ensure positive synergy.

Abstract

Das Abkommen, das die Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) und die äthiopische Regierung am 2. November 2022 unterschrieben haben, bietet eine reale Chance, einen der blutigsten Kriege weltweit zu beenden. Die Umsetzung der Vereinbarung verläuft bisher gut. Durch den Friedensprozess ist jedoch die Frage nach einer stabi­len Machtverteilung innerhalb Äthiopiens und am Horn von Afrika ins Blickfeld gerückt. Die Regierung unter Premierminister Abiy Ahmed steht vor drei zentralen Herausforderungen. Erstens muss sie die TPLF integrieren und sich gleichzeitig aus der Partnerschaft mit Eritrea lösen. Zweitens muss sie das innenpolitische Verhältnis der wichtigsten politischen Akteure neu austarieren, um eskalierende Gewalt in den Bundesstaaten Amhara und Oromia zu stoppen. Schließlich muss sie die durch den Krieg gespaltene und verarmte Gesellschaft wieder zusammenbringen. Internationale Partner sollten Äthiopien mit konditionierten Finanzhilfen und Projekten zur Frie­densförderung bei der Bewältigung dieser Herausforderungen unterstützen. (Autorenreferat)

Abstract

The agreement signed by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethio­pian government on 2 November 2022 offers a real chance to end one of the bloodiest wars in the world. The implementation of the agreement is going well so far. How­ever, the peace process has brought into focus the question of a stable distribution of power within Ethiopia and in the Horn of Africa. The government under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed faces three key challenges. First, it must integrate the TPLF and at the same time disengage from the partnership with Eritrea. Second, it must rebalance the domestic relationship between the main political actors in order to stop the escalating violence in the states of Amhara and Oromia. Finally, it must bring together a society divided and impoverished by war. International partners should support Ethiopia in addressing these challenges with conditional financial assistance and peacebuilding projects. (author's abstract)
