This thesis provides a new approach to the Ethiopian Land Law
debate. The basic argument made in this thesis is that even if the
Ethiopian Constitution provides and guarantees common ownership of
land (together with the state) to the people, this right has not
been fully realized whether in terms of land accessibility,
enjoyability, and payment of fair compensation in the event of
expropriation. Expropriation is an inherent power of the state to
acquire land for public purpose activities. It is an important
development tool in a country such as Ethiopia where
expropriation remains the only method to acquire land. Furthermore,
the two preconditions of payment of fair compensation and existence
of public purpose justifications are not strictly followed in
Ethiopia. The state remains the sole beneficiary of the process by
capturing the full profit of land value, while paying inadequate
compensation to those who cede their land by expropriation.
Secondly, the broader public purpose power of the state in
expropriating the land for unlimited activities puts the property
owners under imminent risk of expropriation.
