| Title | Ethnic Minority Rule in Ethiopia; Causes and Challenges: A comparative study |
| Summary | This thesis investigates the determinant factors that lead to the coming into power of ethnic minorities, a phenomenon that happens rarely. The research employs a comparative method to analyze three cases, Ethiopia, Syria and Rwanda. Situated in the wider field of ethnic conflict studies, it explores the conflictual relationship between the ethnic minority which is in power and the majority ethnic groups, seeking to identify the common trajectories behind the ascendance of ethnic minorities to control political power. The analysis shows that ruling ethnic minorities come to power when the majority ethnic group divests their autonomy or takes away their political dominance, in turn leading to a resistance put up by the minority that gradually brings it to power. |
