Emergent Eritrea
Emergent Eritrea Edited by Gebre Hiwet Tesfagiorgis
Emergent Eritrea: Challenges of Economic Development is a collection of papers presented at a 1991 conference on economic policymaking in Eritrea, held shortly after Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia. The book covers the economic development challenges faced by Eritrea’s new provisional government as it transitions from a guerrilla movement to civilian leadership. The essays show a shift from relying on state intervention in the economy to embracing free market policies. Topics include setting economic policy priorities, reliance on market forces rather than state control, and building consensus on key development issues. Specific details on the contents are not provided. The editor, Gebre Hiwet Tesfagiorgis, has held various academic administrative roles including Director of Institutional Research and Planning at the University of Nebraska. The publisher, Red Sea Press, specializes in works by Third World authors.
