- W2912087991 abstract "The study of the construction of sovereignty in the African context has been mainly focusing on post-colonial approaches to state-building and institutionalization. Moreover, the literature on land-grabbing has largely argued that the receiving countries were losing sovereignty over their territory. This paper seeks to complement this literature by looking at sovereignty in one of the only nations of the continent that was never colonized, Ethiopia. The Ethiopian central state has intended to extend its core sovereignty on the highlands of Abyssinia to the contested lowland peripheries of state for decades. Beyond ethnic, religious and cultural differences, the Ethiopian government endeavors to homogenize the state through certain practices such as education, villagisation and resettlement of nomadic populations. The large-scale commercialization of land to international agricultural corporations is common practice in Ethiopia, but this practice has yet to be linked to this homogenization trend. This paper shows that by commercializing land to foreign companies, the central government is asserting sovereignty on the contested peripheries of the state by managing the land. This management is causing a loss of local forms of sovereignty, but at the state level it is enabling the central government to strengthen its hold on the peripheries. The central argument is that international land deals do not necessarily threaten the sovereignty of weak states; rather they can help foster it. The research for this paper is based on a year-long field trip in Ethiopia, as well as several visits to China and a critical appraisal of the literature at stake on the matter." @default.
