Pastoralist Livelihoods in Asian Drylands brings together the work
of scholars from across Asia to discuss the transforming
boundaries, agencies and risks involved in pastoralist livelihoods.
The authors, whose research sites range from Oman to Mongolia,
Syria to Pakistan, share methodological commitment to long-term
field research, participant observation and engagement with local
communities. There is a focus on pastoralist engagements with
governance institutions and the essays collectively argue that
risk, which is often imagined in environmental terms for
pastoralist peoples, often stems from government policies and
political circumstances. The authors challenge common ecological
approaches to understanding social change amongst pastoralist
groups by focusing on the politics of resource distribution and
control. Papers in the volume support an indigenous perspective on
pastoralists and present academic perceptions and assessments of
key issues in their local context.
