Eredità coloniali: il movimento indipendentista eritreo e il ruolo dell’Italia durante la federazione Eritrea-Etiopia
2019
The official narrative underpinning Eritrea’s nation-building project describes the path toward independence in terms of the struggle against three uninterrupted colonial projects: the Italian, the British and the Ethiopian one. This article aims to provide more complexity to this picture by taking into account the evolution of the Italian foreign policy towards Eritrea in the first years of the Federation with Ethiopia (1952-1962). It looks in particular at the relationship between Rome and two prominent members of the independence bloc: Woldeab Woldemariam and Ibrahim Sultan. Archival sources from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Banca d’Italia, Banco di Roma, and the National Arc…
Modes and potential of diaspora engagement in Eritrea
2010
The involvement of Eritrean diaspora communities in conflict and post-conflict reconstruction in Eritrea dates back to the times of the struggle for independence. The transnational ties between the former liberation fronts and the Eritrean state have been very close ever since. This paper describes the modes and potential of diaspora engagement in Eritrea, focussing especially on recent developments in Eritrean diaspora communities worldwide since 2000. It seeks to describe the specific political, social and economic conditions in Eritrea that provide a framework for the engagement of exiled communities as well as Eritrean policies, which target specifically Eritrean communities abroad. It …

Terra in Africa : diritto fondiario Eritreo
2013
Il volume ripercorre lo sviluppo del diritto fondiario eritreo partendo dalla componente tradizionale sino ad arrivare al diritto fondiario vigente ai giorni nostri. L’analisi svolta non si limita ad un excursus storico sul diritto fondiario eritreo, ma analizza in maniera critica i diversi strati che nel corso del tempo si sono sovrapposti l’uno sull’altro e le modalità attraverso le quali detti strati hanno interagito e continuano ad interagire. Il lavoro cerca quindi di analizzare le ragioni che hanno determinato la situazione attuale di difficoltà applicative della normativa ufficiale e di sopravvivenza (non del tutto) sommersa del diritto tradizionale in un quadro estremamente variegat…
We Had to Feed the People: The Italian Lira and the Political Economy of Currency in British Eritrea, 1941–1950
2021
Following the occupation of Eritrea in 1941, British authorities in London promoted a currency policy aimed at replacing the Italian lira with a sterling-based currency basket. In May 1942, they opted for the enforcement of the East African shilling as the new legal tender. The lire, however, did not disappear overnight. Their circulation was tolerated—and, in some cases, even encouraged—by British authorities in Asmara, which exploited the small deal of autonomy they enjoyed from London to adapt the new monetary system to the needs of local governance. The case study is a useful lens to analyse the multiplicity of interests that shaped the political economy of currency of the United Kingdo…
Finding Learning in Teaching : Eritrean primary teacher educators' perspectives on implementing learner-centered and interactive pedagogies
2018
Eritrea has given an increasing policy emphasis on implementing learner-centered interactive pedagogies (LCIP) at all levels of the education system. However, both teachers and teacher educators struggle with implementation of matching school practices. This study attempts to identify some of the gaps between the objectives set in the National Education Policy of the State of Eritrea and the everyday practices observable at the educational institutions. The focus of the analysis is on examining data from teacher educators at the Asmara Community College of Education. The international exposure and collaboration with Finnish education experts has been appreciated by the teacher educators as …
A Contested Internal Frontier: The Politics of Internal and International Borders in North-Western Ethiopia
2020
This article analyses the historicity of the process of state building at Ethiopia’s north-western corner. The contemporary conflict for control of western Tigray is the by-product of a long-standing struggle for control of natural resources and trading flows between sub-regional centres of power that played a prominent role in the political arena of the Horn of Africa since the late nineteenth century. In turn, the outcome of this competition is critical to understand the making of Ethiopia’s foreign policy toward its neighbours since the second half of the twentieth century.
