Subnational Constitutional Space and Ethnic Accommodation
Subnational constitutional space is increasingly recognised as a mechanism of managing diversity in multiethnic federations. Yet comparative analyses remain limited. This article examines Ethiopia’s regional constitutions to assess how they structure ethnic empowerment, self-rule, and representation. Findings reveal significant variation across regions. In regions where one nationality forms a supermajority, constitutions entrench dominant-group …
The Politics of Language of Education in Ethiopia
This article examines the politics of language of education in a multinational federal system, highlighting its role as a persistent site of political contestation. Drawing on legal texts, interviews, and secondary sources, it explores why the language of instruction remains a contentious issue despite constitutional guarantees of mother-tongue education in Ethiopia. While Ethiopia has made notable progress, shifting from exclusive use of Amharic…
Peripheralities and Their Effects
The contribution is a cross-regional dialog between researchers from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It explores ways in which the concept of peripherality—understood broadly both in economic and cultural sense—could help us grasp long-terms pattern of development in both regions. The dialog opens with Michaela Grančayová and Aliaksei Kazharski's note on CEE’s “transitive peripherality,” its—arguably …
The political economy of fiscal transfers
This article examines the political economy of fiscal transfers in Ethiopia. Utilising an original data set spanning 1995–2020, as well as interviews and document analyses, the article illustrates how different factors interact to shape the distribution of grants. Statistical analysis indicates that population size is critical in determining regional grant shares. However, the analyses reveal a pattern of ethno‐regional favouritism in grant distr…
Continuities and changes in electoral authoritarianism
This article analyzes how autocratic parties sustain and adjust electoral manipulative tactics to maintain electoral dominance in multi-level elections. It examines continuities and changes in electoral authoritarianism in Ethiopia by comparing elections held under the EPRDF and Prosperity Party (PP). The 2021 elections, marred by the detention of main opposition leaders, war and opposition boycotts, resulted in a dominant victory for the incumbe…
Measuring and explaining fiscal de/centralization
This article provides an in‐depth analysis of fiscal decentralization in Ethiopia from 1994/95 to 2019/20, focusing on five fiscal categories: regional own‐source revenues, regional tax autonomy, regional borrowing, federal grants, and conditional grants. To measure fiscal de/centralization, the study constructs original data sets based on reports from various organizations over multiple years. The analysis results demonstrate that fiscal de/cent…
Federalism and State Restructuring in Africa
This article assesses federalism in the five African federations: Ethiopia, Nigeria, Somalia, South Africa, and South Sudan. By using Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) and Afrobarometer data, it systematically investigates in what respect federalism succeeded and failed and whether the success rate varies across the states. It shows that federalism is successful in maintaining the states’ territorial integrity, but its success in conflict reduction …
The Politics of Ethnonational Accommodation Under a Dominant Party Regime
Ethiopia is the most prominent example of the late 20th-century adoption of federalism to accommodate diversity and complete state-building. This article explores the implementation of federalism and accommodation of ethnonational diversity in dominant party regimes by using Ethiopia as a case. Drawing on legal documents, literature, news sources and government reports, the article argues that federalism enabled distinctive groups to promote thei…
Measuring and Explaining de facto Regional Policy Autonomy Variation in a Constitutionally Symmetrical Federation
This article measures regional policy autonomy and explains the factors that drive autonomy variation in land policy from 1995 to 2020, taking Ethiopia, the late twentieth-century adoption of federalism and a federation of very diverse regions, as a case. By comparing three regions, Benishangul-Gumuz, Oromia, and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples, the article shows that de facto regional policy autonomy varies, although the regions are …
