Pastoralism and Common Pool Resources

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Sandagsuren Undargaa has written an excellent book. Utilizing common pool resource theory and access theory, she has developed a conceptual framework for analyzing the institutional, legal, socio-economic and political processes shaping mobile pastoralism in Mongolia. A convincing work regarding the dynamics shaping property relations, land and resource access in Mongolia which is of wide relevance." - John F. McCarthy, Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University.

"In the newly published book, Pastoralism and Common Pool Resources: Rangeland co-management, property rights and access in Mongolia, author Undargaa 'puts property in its place'. Using Mongolia as a case study, Undargaa highlights the inability of contemporary institutional theories to adequately recognize other production components of the mobile pastoral economy, such as labour and livestock. In doing so, she brings a fresh perspective to the Mongolian literature in this space and, perhaps more importantly, maps out potential institutional avenues for resolving the symptomatic issues of elite capture, conflict and lost production opportunities." - Jane Addison in Pastoralism (December 2017)
