| Abstract: | The works presented in this volume are part of the papers discussed in a national conference in October 2007 and an international conference held at the University of Addis Ababa in March 2008, both organized by the Forum for Social Studies (FSS) as a follow-up to an EU-funded research project on the status, environment, opportunities and challenges of civil society in Ethiopia. Three papers examine the international context: The resilience of civil society and its implications for policy: the European experience, by Gerry Salole; Challenges and opportunities for civil society coalition building in an era of globalisation, by Kumi Naidoo; and Civil society in Kenya, South Africa and Uganda: lessons for Ethiopia, by Konjit Fekade. Four papers discuss the Ethiopian context: The voluntary sector in Ethiopia: challenges and future prospects, by Dessalegn Rahmato; Civil society networking and coalition building in Ethiopia: challenges and prospects, by Aster Birke; Policy research institutions and democratization: recent experience and future challenges, by Dessalegn Rahmato; and The regulatory framework for civil society organizations in Ethiopia, by Tsehai Wada.
