Abstract
This book addresses the intricate interrelationships between multiparty elections and traditional authorities in Ethiopia, as exemplified by nine case studies from the country's contested 2005 national and regional elections. The ?local' and the ?national', the ?modern' and the ?traditional' have therefore been researched and conceptualized together, rather than artificially compartmentalized. This research gap also exists in Ethiopia, where most scholars interested in national politics have tended to concentrate on the institutional features of ?ethnic federalism' and its impacts on local conflict dynamics as the starting point of their analysis. The nine chapters in the present volume analyse the relationship between traditional authorities and multi-party elections from the viewpoint of a diverse set of Ethiopians. Keywords:elections; Ethiopia; multi-party elections; regional; traditional authorities
