In his research, the author relies mostly on secondary sources, upon a thorough analysis of which he draws the following conclusion: Even though the developmental state model has led to a remarkable economic growth and made the country one of the fastest growing economies in the world, it has also caused several detrimental effects, including eroding the value of pluralism, compromising human rights, and consolidating a single-party authoritarian rule, which spurred a rampant corruption and intensified arbitrary intervention in the citizens’ lives. The author suggests that economic growth and political transformation (democratization) should be valued equally and pursued side-by-side, which requires a genuinely patriotic, determined, and civic-minded leader.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В статье рассматриваются достижения и потери эфиопского государства после внедрения модели государства развития. В своем исследовании автор опирается в основном на вторичные источники, на основе тщательного анализа которых он делает следующий вывод: несмотря на то что модель развивающего государства привела к заметному экономическому росту и сделала Эфиопию одной из самых быстрорастущих экономик в мире, она также вызвала ряд пагубных последствий, включая подрыв ценности плюрализма, ущемление прав человека и укрепление однопартийного авторитарного правления, что привело к разгулу коррупции и усилению произвольного вмешательства в жизнь граждан. Автор полагает, что экономический рост и политические преобразования (демократизация) должны оцениваться одинаково и осуществляться параллельно, что требует подлинно патриотического, решительного и ориентированного на общество политического лидера.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>developmental state</kwd><kwd>authoritarian rule</kwd><kwd>Ethiopia</kwd><kwd>economic growth</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>государство развития</kwd><kwd>авторитарное правление</kwd><kwd>Эфиопия</kwd><kwd>экономический рост</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Chang D.
