Abstract:This paper is concerned with how policies surrounding agriculture, natural resources and the environment get established in the Ethiopian context. It examines the actor networks and key policy spaces associated with the establishment of policy discourses in Ethiopia, in particular the Green Revolution debate (the case of the Sasakawa-Global 2000 programme) and the environmental debate (the case of soil conservation). An emergent participatory natural resource management discourse is also identified. Contrasting the regions of Tigray and the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region (SNNPR), the paper concludes by arguing that, with decentralization, differences between regional administrative and political cultures are key to policy processes, affecting the degree to which central policies reflect local concerns.
