| | Ethnic group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sometimes ethnic groups are subject to prejudicial attitudes and actions by the state or its constituents. | | | According to this view the state ought not to acknowledge ethnic, national or racial identity and should instead enforce political and legal equality of all individuals. | | | Nationality refers simply to citizenship with respect to a given state (country). |

| | CWIS - The Fourth World Journal - Strategies in "Ethnic" Conflict by Gevork Ter-Gabrielian |
| | Nevertheless, there is no case that a state would be persuaded to accept the UN military forces with an expanded mandate if the ethnic group demands secession and if the state disagrees to grant this right to the ethnic group. | | | In the case of a dyad of states the consent of parties is the matter of their agreement over whether or not they want the help of the international community to achieve an end to the conflict. | | | The major rejoinder to my argument, however, remains valid: it states that the very possibility for ethnic groups to legally have an access to international dimension, may in fact drive states to more violent practices. |

| | ETHNIC GROUP POLITICS |
| | Given the large number of conflicts both within and between states which are defined in terms of ethnicity and race it is important to understand how ethnicity serves as a basis of identification and political action. | | | Next we examine the concepts of ethnicity and race in the United States through the different experiences of European-Americans, African- Americans, and Asian-Americans. | | | The case of the Balkans in general and Bosnia in particular provide a way to focus these questions. |

| | In the eighth century, the area inhabited by the Nu people came under the jurisdiction of the Nanzhao and Dali principalities, which paid tribute to the Tang (618-907) Dynasty court. | | | With the founding of the PRC in 1949, it was agreed upon that their official name would become the Nu ethnic group. | | | These two tribes intermingled and intermarried, finally giving birth to a new group - Nu even though some distinctive characteristics of each group were preserved. |

| | For better identification, each individual states the names of his or her father, grandfather, etc. to an optional number of levels after their own given name. | | | As one example, there are exogan ethnic groups, such as the Hadjerai, who are farmers in the mountains of Tschad. | | | Part of this activity consisted of documenting the existing oral history, part consisted of creatively modifying this history in new forms, and part consisted of glorification of the socialist revolution of General Barre, with some parallels to art under Mao in China. |

| | ETHNIC IDENTITY: |
| | Ethnic identity is separate from one’s personal identity as an individual, although the two may reciprocally influence each other. | | | Ethnic groups may also serve as a reference group, especially when members of the desirable group hold power and prestige within society (Sherif and Sherif, 1969). | | | Identity with such a group is a legitimate substitution for persons for whom ethnicity is not salient. |

| | Baloch society is stratified and has been characterized as "feudal militarism." The significant social tie is that between a leader, the hakim, and his retinue, consisting of pastoralists, agriculturists, lower-level leaders, and lower- level tenant farmers and descendants of former slaves (hizmatkar). | | | Because they are Zikris, they have a limited pool of eligible mates and do not generally marry outside of the group of Zikri Baloch. | | | Suprafamily groups formed through patrilineal descent are significant mostly for the elite hakim, whose concern for rivalry and politics is not shared by other groups. |
