Routledge Pastoralism and Common Pool Resources - Routledge

This scholarly work examines the intersection of pastoralism, rangeland management, and property rights governance in Mongolia, drawing on decades of environmental research and development expertise. Written by Sandagsuren Undargaa, a development researcher with fifteen years of experience in environmental management, the book challenges conventional applications of exclusive property rights to mobile pastoralism. Building on the foundational work of Elinor Ostrom and political ecology frameworks, it explores how common pool resources and co-management arrangements function in practice, questioning the traditional "tragedy of the commons" narrative. The book addresses critical issues in rangeland resource governance, property rights allocation, and access rights in pastoral systems, offering valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in environmental law, development, and natural resource management.
