“…This might not be a surprise since EPRDF (Ethiopian People Revolutionary Democratic Front), the ruling party which has been on power for the last 24 years, owned large business groups. The business groups controlled by the EPRDF is said to be one of the largest conglomerates in Sub-Saharan Africa (Altenburg, 2010) and engaged in a large number of industries including tannery, textiles, garments, pharmaceuticals, industrial engineering, construction and mining. In addition, EPRDF and the business elites including Sheik Mohammed Al Amoudi, who owns many of the leading factories across all economic sectors (Altenburg, 2010 andKelsall, 2013), are closely entwined via dense shareholding and political relationships that are not transparent for the public (Altenburg, 2010).…”

This research explores the role of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in corporate environmental responsibility practice within the context of a developing country, Ethiopia, and provides a framework that enables NGOs to influence firms to improve environmental performance and increase environmental disclosure. This research is a qualitative research which employs content analysis. The result of the study shows that the environmental NGOs in Ethiopia are engaged more on reacting to the damage that has been caused by the unsustainable business practices rather than working proactively by collaborating with corporations, government and other stakeholders. This implies that donors should play a pivotal role in this regard since it is the donors' thematic area of activities that dictates the NGOs projects and programs.

“…For example, in the context of climate change, a green industrial policy for structural transformation and diversification is often seen as paramount to achieving the global objective of limiting greenhouse gases (GHGs). Altenburg (2011) and Lütkenhorst et al (2014) see green industrial policy as part and parcel of tackling the daunting challenge of transforming economies and the entire global economic system towards greater energy and resource efficiency and 'beyond GDP' objectives. They also see the past as a problematic benchmark by which to judge contemporary strategies: in their view, today's industrialized and diversified economies have failed to achieve ecologically sustainable development.…”

Abstract. The article shows that new industrialisation is a key component of the new economic development model, which has been designed in Russia. The following special characteristics of this process are defined: the synchronisation of the processes of the creation of new hi-tech economic sectors and of the modernisation of traditional ones; coordination of changes in technical and economic sphere and in social and institutional sphere; interactive managerial decisions for the realization of these changes. It is shown that new industrialisation is impossible without the creation of indigenous companies in principally new industrial markets. The new trends of global economy development which will define it in the future according to the new technological wave are described. This allows to specify the strategic vector of the new industrialisation of the Russian economy. Convergent technologies are grounded as the intellectual heart of the hi-tech sector of the Russian economy. The importance of technology transfer and the need of transformation of the system of innovations support are stressed. The industrial policy combines the priority guidelines of the development of the state, regions and municipalities taking into account their resource, science and technology and institutional capabilities. Hence, the industrial policy can be an effective mechanism of the development of hi-tech economic sector.
