Ethiopia, a country with a long and uninterrupted history, comprising diverse ethnic groups, languages and cultures, will continue to attract the attention of scholars in both the social sciences and the natural sciences. Linguistically and ethnically the country is "a museum of peoples and cultures" which, when adequately investigated, will contribute greatly towards our knowledge of the languages and peoples of the Horn of Africa. There is complete unanimity among people in various walks of life in general, and researchers in particular, that the problems of the peace, security and development of the Horn of Africa must be thoroughly examined and investigated. In order to do this it is vitally important to understand and fully appreciate the complex and interrelated geopolitical problems of the area generally, and the individual states that comprise it, particularly. The inescapable conclusion is therefore that intensive multi-disciplinary research must be launched urgently. This book, based on the results of implementation and research activities carried out in the Beles Valley, can be included in the framework of recent trends of Ethiopian studies.

Paolo Dieci, expert in planning and implementing development programmes, is the General Secretary of CISP. He took part in the feasibility mission for the CISP Project in the Beles Valley on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the spring of 1986; he was in charge of the CISP Programme in Ethiopia from October 1986 to December 1988, and since 1989 he has been managing the Programme from Italy carrying out frequent field missions. His main publications include: "@ Programme of Information in Italian Schools Concerning Health and the Implementation of Primary Health Care in Somalia", in Proceedings of the Third International Congress of Somali Studies, 11 Pensiero Scientifico Editore, 1988; Chronicles of Italian Colonialism. The Horn of Africa (in It.), Edizioni Associate, 1991.

Claudio Viezzoli, an economist, has been working for the past seven years on economic development issues and the effects of structural adjustment policies in the LDCS, publishing a number of papers and articles on the subject. These include: "Contradictions in Rural Development. The Case of the Tana Beles Project in Ethiopia" (in It.), in La Questione Agraria, No. 32, 1988; "Real Exchange Rate Determination in LDCS: Analytical and Methodological Issues" (in It.), in Economia, Società e Istituzioni, Year II/No. 3, Sep.-Dec. 1990. He has also conducted research at the Commission of the European Communities as an expert on Eastern European countries and the Soviet Union, and as a member of the Management Unit of the "Services and Structures for Internationalising Italian Industries" project of the Italian National Research Council.
