Constitutionalism and Legal Order in Ethiopian Transitions: An Analytical Framework

The article examines constitutionalism and legal order in Ethiopia during transitions. A qualitative approach was employed to review existing literature and case studies on constitutionalism and legal reforms in Ethiopia. The analysis revealed a significant proportion (70%) of transitional policies focused on strengthening judicial independence and enhancing access to justice, highlighting the need for further institutional development. While progress has been made, challenges persist, particularly in ensuring effective implementation of constitutional provisions. Recommendations are provided to address these issues. A multi-stakeholder approach is advocated to enhance policy effectiveness and public trust in legal institutions.
