selected on the basis of certain predefined purpose. I have chosen institutions that are working on the area of diplomacy of the two countries under study. 1.4.2 Methodological Approach Qualitative approach of research method is applied in assessing information gathered from the above different sources. This is basically because of the very nature of the study that tries to understand the complex security relationship from within. Data for the study were collected in-depth and have been analyzed descriptively. 1.5 Scope and Limitation of the Study The study takes into account mainly the security issues at the expense of economic and cultural relations of these two neighboring countries. Primary data obtained for the study from both sides are not balanced due to financial and time constraints. Financial and time constraints have impinged greatly to access materials from Kenya. However, with limited availability of data, analyses have been made without much affecting my efforts to realize the overall objectives of the study. 1.6 Significance of the Study Ethiopia and Kenya are found in the area that is devastated by natural and man- made disasters. The two countries have been vulnerable for irredentist movements and terrorist groups that have link with neighboring countries. This `situation has escalated following the fall of Said Barre Regime in Somalia in the year 1991.When Somalia became a failed state, different Islamic extremist groups hidden in Somalia challenged the peace and stability of the region in general and Ethiopia and Kenya in particular. There are frequent conflicts between and among pastoral communities in the common border areas of Ethiopia and Kenya. Cattle rustling, contraband trade, and the movement of armed Ethiopian opposition groups are major security problems of the two countries. The involvement of local communities in government efforts of stopping conflict in the border areas among pastoralist groups is significant. Besides, the local authorities of both countries frequent meet to address the conflict issues at their common border. Hence, this study is important for the analysis of 6
the above-mentioned security problems. Its findings will help for researchers and policy makers. 1.7 Organization of the Study The study is organized in five chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one presents the background of the study and methodological issues. Chapter two explains relevant theories of international relations which are vital to analyze bilateral relations as well as conceptual frameworks of interstate relations. Chapter three discusses the historical background and the geopolitics of the area. Chapter four assesses challenges in Ethio-Kenyan security cooperation in relation to combining their efforts on safe- guarding their national interest. Analyzing the prospects of the two countries in addressing their common security threats is the concern of Chapter five. The study comes to an end by giving summary and conclusion. 7
