在过去几年中,民主化一直是许多学术讨论的主题,特别是在非洲和前苏联集团发生的所谓的“第三波”。特别令人感兴趣的是abertura的概念,即政治制度的开放,许多人开始相信这是向民主全面过渡的先决条件。在多年的军事统治之后,这似乎是埃塞俄比亚发生的情况,因此本文的目的是:㈠追溯自1991年以来拥有相对开放的反对派论坛的各政党的起源和纲领,(二)评估它们在为政权提供可行的替代方案以及在汇集不同社会和经济利益方面的有效性,民族群体,以及(iii)审查其国家民主的未来。
Democratisation has been the subject of much scholarly discussion during the past few years, notably the so-called ‘third wave’ that is taking place in Africa and the former Soviet bloc. Of particular interest is the concept of the abertura, or opening of the political system, that many have come to believe is the prerequisite for a fully fledged transition to democracy. After years of military rule, this is what appears to have occurred in Ethiopia, and hence the aims of this article are (i) to trace the origins and platforms of the various political parties that have had a relatively open forum for opposition since 1991, (ii) to evaluate their effectiveness both in providing a viable alternative to the régime in power and in aggregating the interests of the different societal and ethnic groups, and (iii) to examine the future of democracy in their country.
