500			_aSince 1991, Ethiopia has gone further than any other country in the world in using ethnicity as the fundamental organizing principles of a federal system of government. And yet, this pioneering experiment in 'ethnic federalism' has been largley ignored in the growing literature on democratization and ethnicity in Africa and on the accommodation of ethnic diversity in democratic states. The aim of this book is to bring a much needed comparative dimension to the discussion of Ethiopia federation. Apart from giving close examination to aspects of the Ethiopia case, the book asks why the use of territorial decentralization to accomodate ethic differences has been generally unpopular in Africa, while it is growing in popularity in the west.
