This book documents the impacts of transition on pastoralists;through multidisciplinary field studies at several sites between 1998-2000. Topics include: Asian agrarian reform; vegetation dynamics; livestock nutrition; grazing patterns; marketing and pastoral income; land degradation; institutions for managing pasture and livestock. The fourteen authors include five Central Asian scientists; and range from social anthropologists; animal scientists; economists; pasture agronomists and climate ecologists. The book will be of interest to researchers on range and livestock in semi-arid areas and to policy analysts of transition in the rural areas of the former Soviet Union.
