This book examines the impact of the federal restructuring of
Ethiopia on ethnic conflicts. The adoption of ethnic federalism in
Ethiopia was closely related with the problem of creating a state
structure that could be used as instrument of managing the complex
ethno-linguistic diversity of the country. Ethiopia is a
multinational country with about 85 ethno-linguistic groups and
since the 1960s, it suffered from ethno-regional conflicts. The
book considers multiple governance and state factors that could
explain the difficulties Ethiopian federalism faces to realise its
objectives. These include lack of political pluralism and the use
of ethnicity as the sole instrument of state organisation.
Federalism and Ethnic Conflict in Ethiopia will be of interest to
students and scholars of federal studies, ethnic conflict and
regionalism.
