Re-Mapping Centre and Periphery
Historians often assume a one-directional transmission of knowledge and ideas, leading to the establishment of spatial hierarchies defined as centres and peripheries. In recent decades, transnational and global history have contributed to a more inclusive understanding of intellectual and cultural exchanges that profoundly challenged the ways in which we draw our mental maps. \n \nCovering the early modern and modern periods, Re-Mapping Centre an…
Ethnic federalism and its potential to dismember the Ethiopian state
The Horn of Africa has become the most fragmented post-colonial region in Africa. The largest state in the region, Ethiopia, with its unequalled demographic and resource power lost one of its provinces to secession and the rest of the country became divided into ethnic enclosures called killiloch, which are federal states with tribal designation. The recitation of divisive counter-narratives on the history of the Ethiopian state by ethnically ins…

Marginality is a complex condition of disadvantage that individuals and communities may experience because of vulnerabilities which may arise from unequal or inequitable environmental, ethnic, cultural, social, political and economic factors. A …

Regional Disparity in Sub-Saharan Africa: Structural Readjustment of Uneven Development
Structural Hegemony in Sub-Sahara Africa: Implications for Readjustment of Polarized Economic Regions
Uneven development in space in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) has been attributed to inequalities in comparative advantage within the neoclassical framework of free and competitive markets. The role of structural hegemony, centered in primate cities with controls on allocation and mobilization of development resources throughout the post-colonial state in SSA, has been largely ignored in the literature. Policies and plans for development that were based…
