Political reform in Ethiopia: assessing the challenges
This seminar examines historical, institutional and political forces that complicate the road to democracy.

Various challenges prevent the establishment of a stable democratic order. This seminar will examine the weight of historical, institutional and political forces on the country’s road to democracy.
