Abstract

A broader understanding of Federal system calls for the study of the compartment on which the state to state relationship is based. In the context wherein multilevel governments persist; studying the way how horizontal Intergovernmental Relations (IGRs) function are essential. Both vertical and horizontal federalism are fundamental elements of federal state structured government. Yet most scholarship about federalism focuses on vertical, federal-state interactions while neglecting horizontal state-state interactions. In this light, this research examined institutions and practices of IGRs between Amhara and Benishangul Gumuz Regional States of Ethiopia. The two Regional States are closely related in many respects. This reality necessitates horizontal intergovernmental relations between Amhara and Benishangul Gumuz Regional States.
