This study tries to investigate how Ethiopian federalism functions, concentrating on the discrepancy between the system's aspirations and actualities. In order to accommodate its numerous ethnic groups, guara of Pntee regional autonomy, and foster equitable development, Ethiopia chose a federal structure in 1991. Federalism has, however, been poorly implemented due to a number of problems and inconsistencies.

It will draw on academic research, government reports, and expert opinions to provide a comprehensive analysis of the functioning of federalism in Ethiopia. DOWNLOADS
