This is a study of the vast steppe region of Inner Asia,
historically dominated by Mongol culture, Buddhist-Shamanist
religion, and an economy based on mobile pastoralism. Pastoralism
in inner Asia is not timeless "nomadism", but rather a series of
local knowledges and techniques located in particular historical
circumstances. Modern herders must adapt their economic cultures as
best they can to rapid institutional changes and divergent state
policies. The text discusses the possible demise of the nomadic way
of life, arguing that mobility and district-level management will
continue to be necessary if pastoralism is to be successful and
sustainable in the steppe environment. In the light of ongoing
programmes of sedentarization and privatization, the authors'
thesis implies not only new directions for research, but the
desirability for the three central governments of rethinking policy
on pastoralism.
