This is a study of agricultural policies in Ethiopia under two successive regimes with different economic and political systems. Under Emperor Haile Selasie's regime, land was privately held except in the northern part of the country where it was communally owned. Haile Selasie's agricultural policies focused on raising production through commercial farms and through integrated or minimum package programs. The subsequent regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam promoted socialist agriculture through collectivization (i.e. through cooperatives, state farms, resettlement and villagization).Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This is a study of agricultural policies in Ethiopia under two successive regimes with different economic and political systems. Under Emperor Haile Selasie's regime, land was privately held except in the northern part of the country where it was communally owned. Haile Selasie's agricultural policies focused on raising production through commercial farms and through integrated or minimum package programs. The subsequent regime of Mengistu Haile Mariam promoted socialist agriculture through collectivization (i.e. through cooperatives, state farms, resettlement and villagization).
520 $a An overview of each major policy is provided; but the study's main emphasis is the villagization policy of Mengistu's government. Through a field study of villagization among the Guji-oromo of Jam Jam awraja, this dissertation will present an example of how and why agricultural policies were formulated and implemented, and their effects on the rural population. Findings from the case study are used to challenge Scudder and Colson's currently prevailing "relocation theory" which argues that rural communities undergoing compulsory resettlement respond in the same general fashion irrespective of their sociocultural background and of policy of the resettlement authorities (e.g. Scudder and Colson, 1979; 1982). This dissertation will dispute this theory, arguing that people will be affected differently by involuntary resettlement projects and will accordingly respond to their new circumstances dependent upon factors such as age, sex, occupation, and the type of resettlement itself.
520 $a The study identifies three critical policy problem areas in government efforts to transform Ethiopia's agriculture: the land tenure system, low resource allocation to agriculture, and the lack of local participation. Both regimes failed to address these problems due to the nature of the state. Under the imperial regime, the state represented the interests of the landowning class and foreign capital. Mengistu's government focused on developing socialist economy guided by a highly centralized planning process. Socialist ideology and political control were more important than economic development. As the result, the agricultural and rural development policies under both regimes failed to transform agriculture.
