Description
Summary:The expansion of Pentecostalism and the process of economic growth in contemporary Ethiopia suggest revisiting the supposed "elective affinity" that Pentecostalism shares with neoliberal globalisation and the "spirit of development." While the expansion of Pentecostalism in Africa has been traditionally associated with neoliberalism and a state losing ground, in Ethiopia Pentecostals are prospering in a context marked by the presence of a state that is strongly developmental. Pentecostals hold a controversial relationship with the strategy of this developmental state and their holistic approach challenges the government secular policy.
