A very careful economic analysis of the interaction between ethic/national diversity and developmental state by Tom Laver. Although economists often tends to be ahistorical in thinking through Ethiopia’s “national question,” the care and sensitivity with which Tom approached it remarkable. However, the fact that he thinks ethnic federalism hasn’t worked for three decades is incorrect. This is because: 1st) the federalism hasn’t been implemented. In fact, the change Qeerroo was seeking during its protest was a manifestation of the itching towards the implementation of the federal system; and 2nd) the persistence of the ethnic tension often threatening the developmentalist imperative is not because of federalism’s entrenchment of ethnic/national rationality. To the contrary, it was because, despite the formal declaration of ethno-national federalism, the “national question” did not find a resolution (there was no exercise of self-determination, not even undisputed free and fair election). In fact, ethnicity/nationalism persisted because the vestiges of imperial-structural domination and exploitation continued to sabotage the project of recognition (ie, ethno-national aspirations to self-determination) and of distribution (ie, transformation of the exploitative economic arrangement into an equitable and redistributive one). The solution is not to be sought in de-emphasising federalism (presumably to eradicate or minimise ethnic/national rationality) but rather in working towards its resolution by giving it its fullest expression in the form of self-determination. This alone will do away with the vestiges (and imperial legacies) of exploitative structures that continue to foment ethic/national conflict in such a way that the latter trumps the imperatives of economic redistribution. After all, when coming out of imperial domination and exploitation, nations don’t “live by bread alone.” The economic kingdom cannot come before the political one. https://youtu.be/kAAutm75iKY?si=5JvCuxWvagIi-xYA
