| Title | Local Characteristics under Ethiopian and South Africa's Constitution: Gada as a Foundation of the State Constitution of Oromia |
| Summary | States have adopted modern constitutions for various reasons among which is to redeem past authoritarianism and progress to democracy. Constitution making process has a vital role in this regard especially where there are added incentives of ethnic and cultural diversity like in the cases of Ethiopia and South Africa. In such scenarios federalism provides the opportunity to organize the state into different tiers of governments to exercise the power of designing a constitution at sub-national level with a better local character. This thesis reviews the potentials of Gada system to promote constitutionalism and failure of the State Constitution of Oromia to take Gada system as its foundation. |
