Ethiopia at the Crossroads: Institutional Fragmentation, Civic Legitimacy, and the Architecture of National BreakdownVolume One — Policy & Institutional EditionEthiopia stands at a pivotal institutional moment. While the nation retains deep civilizational continuity and strategic regional significance, it faces converging structural pressures that challenge civic cohesion and long-term stability.This volume presents a structured, nonpartisan examination of institutional fragmentation, civic legitimacy erosion, and governance strain within fragile and divided societies. Rather than advancing political prescriptions, it focuses on diagnosis—clarifying the civic, institutional, narrative, and security dynamics that shape national risk trajectories.Prioritizing analytical restraint over rhetoric, this Policy & Institutional Edition does not assign blame or promote ideological solutions.
