Political (in)visibility and governance disconnects
Like many large cities in the Global South, Addis Ababa and Faisalabad have struggled to improve their solid waste management (SWM) systems. The political economy of the sector, alongside local attitudes towards waste work, creates a complex governance environment in which solutions are far from obvious. This article traces social, political and institutional change in the SWM systems of the two cities through a comparative, interdisciplinary ana…
Decentering Coloniality
The debate on decolonising development studies (DS) can be more fruitful if we focus on epistemic issues. Since mainstream DS has been essentially Eurocentric, where coloniality is normalised, I suggest in this commentary that decolonising DS is best pursued by decentring coloniality. I use the epistemic justice framework to illustrate how both interpretative and testimonial injustices are common features of DS when we take the dominance of Euroc…

Beyond ‘equitable partnerships’
Debate on the need for more fairness in academic research collaborations between actors in Africa (or the ‘Global South’, broadly) and counterparts in the Global North has intensified in recent years, while practice-oriented frameworks and efforts to foster more equitable partnerships have proliferated. Important approaches to recognise and undo asymmetries in concrete collaboration arrangements – division of labour, decision making, access to re…
The Politics of Youth Employment and Policy Processes in Ethiopia
Policy processes are inherently shaped by political contexts. One way of identifying the impact of politics on policy processes is by examining how policy narratives and framings evolve through time. This article examines youth employment-focused policies in Ethiopia between 2004 and 2015. It argues that policy narratives and framings driving youth employment policy are directly derived from the developmental orientation of the incumbent Ethiopia…
On Silencing the Next Generation
This article argues that the Ethiopian revolution was a generational achievement. Hence, its legacy and lasting social effects can be best examined through a sociological lens that highlights the intergenerational relations between the “revolutionary generation” of 1974 and today’s “restrained generation.” One of the significant legacies of the Ethiopian revolution is that it continues to instill fear in young people who are inclined to engage in…
