Abstract

Nation-state building as an “architectural metaphor” is a measure or an action taken by a state or government to unite various groups and ethnic identities to form one common national identity or national fellowship. For at least three thousand years, Ethiopia have been passed through the proceeses of nation-state building, and has claimed statehoodship states. All in all, the Ethiopia’s nation state-building dynamics can be dominantly divided in to three models: imperial model (pre-1974); socialist model (from 1975-1991) and federal model (since 1991) . In this research article, the selected review of relevant literature is conducted in explorining, and hence , comparatively analyzing these three consequative regimes of Ethiopia in its dominant history of nation state building trajectories.
