Abstract

This chapter distills the central lessons from the positive analysis for the normative task of rebuilding a postcolonial state that is capable, legitimate, bound by the rule of law, and subject to accountability mechanisms that resonate with enduring African core values. There is much to preserve from the colonial and postcolonial legacies, but there is also much room for new ideas and institutions. One lesson is the need to ensure secure property (especially land) rights to families and corporate groups. Another is decentralized self-governance either in a unitary form or a federal form. A third is the anchoring of state revenues, the types of taxes collected from citizens as well as resource rent from the domestic economy, to cement the nexus between public financing and government accountability to citizens.

Vorheriges Kapitel The Ethiopian Revolutionary State
Fußnoten
1
For Ethiopia, at least, one line of thinking is that some 550–600 ethnically diverse electoral districts, giving rise to some 20 regional states (kifle-hagerat). The basic political unit, the woreda (county) on average will have 175,000–225,000 people (of the 105 million Ethiopians in 2017). A typical woreda is big enough to manage its hospitals and schools (up to secondary schools) and small enough to be within half a day on a mule-back or a few hours by bus for citizens who need to reach administrative centers or big markets
