 | | In 1994, 20 years after independence from Portugal, the country's first multiparty legislative and presidential elections were held. | | | The government eventually suppressed or came to terms with most political-military groups, settled a territorial dispute with Libya on terms favorable to Chad, drafted a democratic constitution, and held multiparty presidential and National Assembly elections in 1996 and 1997, respectively. | | | A constitution was adopted in 1994 and Ethiopia's first multiparty elections were held in 1995. |

| Â | DIVERSITY IN THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE: THE SOCIAL AND IDEOLOGICAL BASIS FOR A MULTIPARTY SYSTEM |
| | The chapter first reviews the literature on American ideological cleavages, assessing the positions represented by the major parties with work by Marshall Ganz (1994), Theodore Lowi (1998), and Gordon Black and Benjamin Black (1994) and noting the rise of cross-cutting ideological divisions in the electorate. | | | Party systems rely on differences in opinion or interests among voters. | | | This paper proceeds with an investigation of the social and ideological basis for a multiparty system without assuming that Congress already mirrors the diverse opinions and interests of the electorate. |

| Â | THE PATHS TO REFORM: COMBATTING THIRD-PARTY CONSTRAINTS |
| | Knowing that presidential electoral rules have a tremendous influence on both third-party success in presidential elections and in legislative support, elimination of the Electoral College would be a major step towards a multiparty system in America. | | | Legislatures are the obvious first place to turn to alter laws. | | | Reforms enacted by Congress and state legislatures are a potential path to a multiparty system because legislative bodies have the power to remove many of the obstacles mentioned previously. |

| Â | A distributed algorithm for implementation of first-order multiparty interactions |
| | Furthermore our algorithm is closer to the fully distributed one in the sense that (1) every process (role manager) only knows its adjacent role managers (processes), and (2) the time complexity of local computation in each process and role manager is equal. | | | In this paper, we propose a new distributed algorithm for implementing first-order multiparty interactions based on a new implementation model, in which a role manager is devised for each role. | | | First-order multiparty interactions, a generation of multiparty synchronization, are a powerful communication mechanism that allows a set of processes to enroll into different roles of an interaction and to execute the interaction in a synchronous way, and guarantees conflict interactions to be executed exclusively. |
