Although multi-party elections have become the norm in Africa, relatively little is known about the significance of non-state actors such as traditional authorities in electioneering. Focusing on Ethiopia?s competitive 2005 elections, this book analyzes how customary leaders, political parties and state officials confronted and complemented each other during election time. Case studies reveal the contemporaneousness of traditional authorities in modern politics, but also how multi-party competition reproduces traditional relations of domination among ethnic groups. The book documents the importance of customary authority in selecting party candidates and providing legitimacy to political parties, but also their limitations in a country dominated by a semi-authoritarian party-state. 410 0$aAfrican social studies series ;$vv. 27. 606 $aPolitical parties$zEthiopia 606 $aElections$zEthiopia 606 $aPower (Social sciences)$zEthiopia 607 $aEthiopia$xPolitics and government$y1991- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aElections 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 676 $a324.963/0721 701 $aTronvoll$b Kjetil$0662651 701 $aHagmann$b Tobias$0885177 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457248603321 996 $aContested power in Ethiopia$91976472 997 $aUNINA
