After the fall of the Berlin wall and the disintegration of the
former USSR and Yugoslavia, it has widely been assumed that
socialist federations have become a thing of the past. Ethiopia's
ethnic federal system however is essentially a socialist federal
system based on the notion of the 'right to self-determination of
nationalities' and a Marxist-Leninist organization of the state and
party. This book assesses the Ethiopian ethnic federal system from
the perspective of the principles of socialist federations and
other Marxist oriented policies pursued by the ruling Ethiopian
Peoples' Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). Exploring how the
application of these ideological principles has impacted on the
structure and function of the Ethiopian federal system, the
research examines the ways in which these ideological policies of
the ruling party affect national consensus, protection of human
rights, the rights of minority groups, separation of power
principles and the relationship between the federal and regional
governments. It also explores the extent to which ideological
principles have had an impact on the democratization process, rule
of law and in building up institutions such as parliamentary
democracy, the judiciary, the media and civil society organizations
in the country. Approaching the Ethiopian federal system from the
perspective of the fundamental ideological principles of the party
in power allows a deeper insight into the structure and function of
the ethnic federal system.
