Abstract

There are some common ethnic macronorms - what it means to belong to the ethnic group. But such norms are often too broad and therefore they are disintegrated into institutional exceptions. If a rather large group of people accept such predominant style of behavior, it can contribute to ethnogenesis.

Keywords: ethnic institutions, ethnic identity, ethnic norms, new institutionalism, ethnicity, social anthropology, ethnology, tradition; communities, institutional processes
