The issue of collective and multiple property rights in animals,
such as cattle, camels or reindeers, among pastoralists has never
been a subject of special cross-cultural and comparative study.
Focusing on pastoralist societies in East and West Africa, the Far
North and Siberia, and the Eurasian steppes, this volume addresses
the issue of property rights and the changes these societies have
undergone due to the direct or indirect influence of modernization
and globalization processes. The contributors also investigate the
interplay of older sets of rights and modern marketing policies;
political, ecological and economic effects of collectivization and
de-collectivization; the existence of collective and private
property in the Soviet Union and its successor states; state
taxation and destocking measures in African dry lands; and the
effects of quarantine, as well as import and export regulations.
The rich and well-researched ethnographic, historical, and economic
data in these chapters provides new theoretical insights into the
matter of property rights in animals.
