Dynamics among Ethnicity-State/Periphery-Center in the Horn.

本研究的目的是从政治、经济、生存等方面考察周边民族在与国家和中央政权关系的剧变过程中，如何制定新的生存战略，重组自身的社会结构。通过案例分析，我们试图从国家与民族关系的新模式这一世界性的紧迫问题上做出贡献。为此，我们在一年中收集了中央政府和地方行政机关拥有的关于民族自治政策的基本文件和数据。第二年，我们就国家提供基础设施的发展政策和社会结构的变化进行了研究。为了将研究具体化，我们在第三年调查了地区层面的精英阶层的生活史，以及国家与周边伦理群体之间的结构关系，如他们对国家政策的态度。这种差异不仅是由于该政策所赋予的利益的不平等，也是由于每一种文化制度的差异。此外，尽管地区之间的差距越来越大，但在每个地区都可以看到一个新的精英阶层正在出现。基于这些结果，我们设想对埃塞俄比亚已经成为一个严重问题的环境退化进行新的研究，具体分析在国家发展政策渗透到全国的过程中，人民的生存制度和资源使用与环境变化是如何相互关联的。

The purpose of this study was to examine in terms of politics, economy and subsistence how the peripheral ethnic groups would make their new subsistence strategy and reorganize their social structure in the process of the drastic change of connection with the state and central power. Through the analyses of case studies, we have tried to contribute to the urgent worldwide issues on the new model of relationship between the nation state and ethnicity from the scademic standpoints.For the above purpose, in the year we collected the basic documents and data on the ethic autonomy policy that the central government and regional administractive offices own. In the second year we conducted research about the state development policy to provide infrastructure and the change of social structure. In order to put into concrete our study, the third year we investigated the life history of elite class in the level of regions and the structural relationship between the state and the peripheral ethic groups such as their attitude toward to the state policy.The comparative study of these researches shows that are various responses against the state from one ethnic group to another. This variety is not only due to the imparity of the interests, which were given by that policy, but also to the differences of each cultural system. Moreover, while these gaps among the regions have become larger, in every region it is observed that a new elite class is appearing. Based on these results, we envisage a new study on the environmental degradation which has become a serious issue in Ethiopia, in which we will analyze concretely how the people's subsistence system and resource use are interrelated to the environmental change in the process that state development policy penetrates the whole country.
