Ethiopia's “Leap in the Dark”: Federalism and Self-Determination in the New constitution
Benjamin Disraeli took a calculated “leap in the dark” in 1867, when he extended the right to vote to almost all British men. With hindsight, his leap can be seen to have been a necessary (but not sufficient) means of defusing discontent and promoting democratization. Ethiopia seems poised for an even bigger constitutional leap into a murkier realm, into an ethnicized attempt at democratization. To gain acceptance, a new constitution like Ethiopi…
Die Schattenseite der Verfassungsvergleichung: Lehren aus der Dritten Welt
Law and Politics in Africa, Asia and Latin America" analyses legal and constitutional developments in all states or regions outside of Europe as well as their regional and international integration. Founded in 1968 and inspired by decolonization and the idea of a cooperative new beginning, the Journal also promotes a special interest in contributions on 'Law and development'. The journal aims to provide a forum for a variety of perspectives on th…
Law, Development, and the Ethiopian Revolution
This thesis explores a series of middle-range hypotheses concerning the interrelation of law and development. These hypotheses are made concrete enough to serve as policy prescriptions by applying them to the problems of Ethiopia, a country which displays most of the development constraints that have been identified in other Third World countries. Development is best understood as a dynamic process, as the broadening of subsistence and small-scal…
Lawyers in the Third World: Comparative and Developmental Perspectives
The underlying reason for this book is a concern about the social impact of legal professions on "development" and "underdevelopment" and on the capacity of the mass of people in the countries studied (who are poor by any standards) to use law to better their social condition. Part of the book is a collection of empirical and historical studies of lawyers in various Third World countries. These studies offer data and insights of value to legal an…

Land Reform in Revolutionary Ethiopia
The attention of the world was briefly focused on Ethiopia when Emperor Haile Selassie I, once considered the inviolable descendant of Solomon and Sheba, and the Elect of God, was deposed on 12 September 1974, and when two months later 60 public and military officials were executed without trial. The 'creeping coup' began in March 1974, and was undertaken by the military Co-ordinating Committee (commonly called the Dirgue, the Amharic word for 'c…

Law and Rural Development in Ethiopia
The attention of the world was focused on Ethiopia, briefly, when Emperor Haile Selassie I, once considered the inviolate descendant of Solomon and Sheba and the Elect of God, was deposed on September 12, 1974, and when, on November 23, 1974, sixty public and military officials were executed without trial. The Provisional Military Administrative Council, or Dirg , formally assumed power under Proclamation No. 1 of 1974 ( Neg. Gaz. 34/1) which dep…
Private Law in Ethiopia
In 1960, the Government made the first modern attempt at a comprehensive and formal statement of Ethiopian private law by promulgating Civil and Commercial Codes. 2 An earlier source of private law rules, the Fetha Negast (Law of the Kings) has been part of the Ethiopian legal experience since at least 1686, when it was translated from the Roman-influenced thirteenth century Nomocanon of the Egyptian Coptic Church. There is no evidence that this …
Murder and Manslaughter in Malawi's Traditional Courts
In 1969, Malawi accorded extensive criminal jurisdiction to its Local or Traditional Courts, in an attempt to make the administration of justice more palatable to the Government and the people. There has been a sufficient number of Traditional Court decisions to permit a tentative analysis of the results of this experiment. A deeper study awaits the passage of time. This article is an attempt to inject some objective evidence into the debate over…
The Chilobwe Murders Trial
Despite scant advance publicity, the hot and airless court-room of Malawi's Southern Regional Traditional Court was filled to overflowing on October 19, 1971, to hear the case against Walla Laini Kawisa. Every lawyer and senior civil servant who could possibly arrange it was there. The Police had cordoned off the area surrounding the Court. A huge crowd stood behind the barrier in an attempt to catch a glimpse of the proceedings. On the bench wer…
