Woldemariam Interviewed by AP on Reforms, Unrest in Ethiopia
Michael Woldemariam, Assistant Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was quoted in a widely-syndicated article on the recent unrest following Ethiopia’s stunning political reforms.
Woldemariam was quoted in a September 20, 2018 article by the Associated Press entitled “Ethiopia’s Stunning Reforms Now Challenged by Deadly Unrest.”
From the text of the article:
“In a system where party and state have long been indistinguishable, the (coalition’s) fragmentation would be a dangerous thing,” Michael Woldemariam, assistant professor of international relations at Boston University, wrote this month in Foreign Affairs.
Michael Woldemariam’s teaching and research interests focus on African politics, particularly the dynamics of armed conflict, the behavior of rebel organizations and self-determination movements, and post-conflict institution building. He has special expertise on the Horn of Africa region, where he has traveled extensively and conducted fieldwork.
