Answers
Answer:
The correct answer for the question asked is that, in Ethopia the concerned form of federation is Centrifugal i.e. holding together in nature.
Explanation:
Centripetal federalism is type of a federal system which consists of a strong federal government and a weaker provincial government in it.
Post creation of the national states in the area of federation, the direction of federalism is centripetal.
Answer:
Ethiopia has centrifugal federalism. There are two processes of federations: centripetal which sees different states coming together voluntarily and the second is centrifugal means holding them together. In this one independent state transforms itself into a federal state via instrumentality of a constitutions thereby distributing the power between Union and the state governments. In case of centrifugal federalism the power is distributed from the centre to the state government. Since Ethiopia is governed by various ethnic groups , the power is distributed across, so we can say that it has centrifugal federalism.
