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

本研究旨在从政治、经济、生存三个方面考察在与国家和中央权力关系发生剧烈变化的过程中，边缘民族如何制定新的生存策略，如何重新组织社会结构。通过个案分析，我们试图从学术的角度对民族国家与民族关系的新模式这一世界性的紧迫问题做出贡献。为此，我们在这一年中收集了中央政府和地方行政机关关于民族自治政策的基本文献和资料。在第二年，我们进行了关于国家发展政策的研究，以提供基础设施和社会结构的变化。第三年，为了将研究具体化，我们考察了区域层面精英阶层的生活史，以及国家与周边民族之间的结构关系，如对国家政策的态度，这些研究的比较研究表明，不同民族对国家的反应是不同的。这种多样性不仅是由于这一政策所赋予的利益的不平等，而且也是由于每个文化体系的差异。此外，虽然各区域之间的差距越来越大，但在每个区域都出现了一个新的精英阶层。基于这些结果，我们设想了一个新的研究环境退化已成为一个严重的问题，在埃塞俄比亚，我们将具体分析如何在国家发展政策渗透到全国的过程中，人们的生存系统和资源的使用是相互关联的环境变化。

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.
