    Identité ethnique et fédéralisme en Éthiopie du Sud
    in Politique africaine , n. 99 ,  2005 ,  22 - 42
    This article analyzes forms of local ethnic identity and their transformations. It does so through the prism of locally defined representations of collective interests that have been elaborated upon since the time of ethnic federalism. Supposed « ethnic conflicts » emerge in local competition for the control of access to land or to the resources of urban centers. In cases where state-controlled resources are allocated according to the political criteria of « nationality », identity markers have been (re)formulated and (re)constructed in keeping with local perceptions of interest and gain.
