5 - Ethiopia’s Ethnic Federalism and the African Search for Viable Statehood: Matters Arising

Abstract

This is the second in a series of articles that CODESRIA is publishing on the issue of nation-building in Africa based on a reflection on the Ethiopian crisis. The article critically discusses the dynamics of federalism as expressed in the Ethiopian case while also mobilizing experiences from across the continent to bring in a comparative dimension. As indicated in CODESRIA Bulletin Online, No. 4, the Council welcomes intellectual contributions and reflections that advance our understanding on these issues.
