Declining or Waning
- Traditional Nomadic Practices:

There has been a noticeable decline in papers that focus solely on historical accounts of empires, such as the Mongol Empire, as the focus shifts towards contemporary issues and their historical roots. - Static Ethnic Identity Studies:
Studies that treat ethnic identity as a static concept are less frequent, as there is a growing recognition of the fluidity and dynamics of identity in response to modern challenges. - Conventional Anthropological Approaches:
More traditional anthropological methodologies appear to be waning, with a shift towards interdisciplinary approaches that combine ethnography with political science, economics, and environmental studies.
