This collection traces how pastoralists have coped with the
challenges of change in a part of the world with a long-tradition
of livestock keeping. Their precarious position - balanced between
a market system where only the fittest may survive, and their
attempt to remain a human resource for the future development of
the natural pastures and livestock industry - is carefully and
critically examined by the contributors. The pastoralists' unique
skills at managing livestock in a variable and challenging
environment, and their ability to supply commodities much in demand
mean that an understanding of their societal position is essential
for anyone interested in transition in the former Soviet Union.
