"This paper examines interethnic conflict on grazing land previously accessed as common
property. The study was undertaken in Mieso District of eastern Ethiopia where two ethnic
groups experience different production systems – pastoral and agropastoral. Game theoretic
approach and analytic narratives have been used as analytical tools. Results show that the
historical change in land use by one of the ethnic groups, resource scarcity, violation of
customary norms, power asymmetry and livestock raids are some of the factors that have
contributed to the recurrence of the conflict. The role of raids in triggering conflict and
restricting access to grazing area becomes particularly important. Socio-economic and
political factors are responsible for power asymmetry and increasing scale of raids. The joint
effect of an increase in trend of violence and a decline in capacity of customary authority in
conflict management advances state role in establishing enforceable property rights
institutions. This would be successful only if policies and intervention efforts are redirected
at: 1) suppressing incentives for violence, 2) establishing new institutional structures, in
consultation with clan elders of both parties and 3) building internal capacity to monitor
conflict-escalating events." (author's abstract)... weniger
