Recenzii
This book offers a fascinating analysis of the internal contradictions and the external entanglements of Ethiopia's dam program in the last two decades. Combining analytical depth and simple language, the book addresses the academic community, as well as policy and media circles interested in understanding Ethiopia's politically ambitious, but technically and economically problematic hydropower projects.
This is a superb book that has a massive amount to offer anyone concerned with Ethiopia in particular and African development more generally, while also being thoroughly relevant to big issues in current global environmental politics.
Tom Lavers and his coauthors have produced a remarkable and fascinating book, rich in historical detail, theoretical flair, and pragmatic lessons that should draw rapt attention from anyone in the public sphere concerned with dams and development.
Providing unique detail and multi-layered perspectives on dam building in Ethiopia, this book's significance goes far beyond the Nile Basin and is instructive for students of energy transitions across the developing world. The complexities of political and electric power are interwoven throughout the book and convincingly argued to be inseparable.
