Membership status and selfgoverning rights are crucial entitlements in the multiculturalists’ notion of citizenship. Though citizenship is considered to be part of domestic affairs of a state, it is also influenced by the policies of sub-state political units. Hence, this paper examines the membership and self-governing status of Amhara and analyzes how the citizenship status is affected at sub-state units, with a focus on Benishangul Gumuz Regional State. Concurrent embedded mixed approach was employed and data were collected through interviews and document analysis. Interview data were obtained from 29 respondents, chosen by means of an intensity sampling method. Quantitative data were also acquired from Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency. The data were analyzed qualitatively with some quantitative backup. Though Amhara People of BGRS have the legal status of Ethiopian citizenship, BGRS has failed to fully integrate these people to the mainstream political community. Particularly, the exclusionary politics of recognition (as only selected nationalities receive the so-called ownership of the region ) and the prohibition of Amhara from exercising selfgovernment rights (this right is exclusively given to the ‘owner’ nationalities by the regional constitution) demonstrate the hierarchy of citizenship, where Amhara people are treated as secondclass citizens in BGRS, which is contradictory to the notion of multicultural citizenship.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">После смены политического режима в 1991 году правительство Эфиопии стремилось институционализировать инклюзивное мультикультурное гражданство в стране. Статус национальной принадлежности и права на самоуправление являются важнейшими правами в концепции гражданства сторонников мультикультурализма. Несмотря на то, что гражданство относится к сфере внутренних дел государства, оно также зависит от политики субгосударственных политических единиц. Таким образом, в данной статье рассматриваются проблемы принадлежности и статус самоуправления амхарского народа и анализируется влияние статуса гражданства на субгосударственные единицы с акцентом на региональный штат Бенишангул-Гумуз. Параллельно автор опирался на анализ данных, собранных при помощи интервью и анализа документов. Данные интервью были получены от 29 респондентов, отобранных методом интенсивной выборки. Количественные данные были также получены от Центрального статистического управления Эфиопии. Собранные данные были проанализированы посредством качественного и количественного анализа. Несмотря на то, что амхарцы из Бенишангул-Гумуз имеют правовой статус граждан Эфиопии, региональному штату не удалось полностью интегрировать этих людей. В частности, исключительная политика национального признания (поскольку только избранные национальности получают так называемую «собственность региона») и запрет народу Амхара на осуществление прав самоуправления (это право предоставляется исключительно национальностям- «собственникам» региональной конституцией) демонстрируют иерархию гражданства, где народу Амхара в штате Бенишангул-Гумуз рассматриваются как «граждане второго сорта», что противоречит самому понятию мультикультурного гражданства.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Amhara</kwd><kwd>Ethnic Federalism</kwd><kwd>Ethiopia</kwd><kwd>Multiculturalism</kwd><kwd>Multicultural Citizenship</kwd><kwd>Politics of identity</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Амхара</kwd><kwd>этнический федерализм</kwd><kwd>Эфиопия</kwd><kwd>мультикультурализм</kwd><kwd>мультикультурное гражданство</kwd><kwd>политика идентичности</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Heywood A.
