Re-Thinking Ethiopia's Ethnic Federalism

More about the book

The book examines Ethiopia's ethno-federalist structure established in 1995, analyzing its impact on governance and socio-economic development over two decades. Despite notable economic growth and efforts to alleviate rural poverty, the implementation of ethnic federalism has sparked significant debate and polarization. The study aims to reassess this federalism model, offering insights for policymakers to transition towards a more autonomous democratic federalism that enhances stability, unity, and local self-rule, empowering citizens to address their interests and grievances.
