Abstract

[Rather than totally free, unrestricted access to pastureland, Mongolia’s pastoral nomadic herders through history have often had to contend with some form of authority in determining pasture access and land use. Even in the stateless conditions of the pre-Mongol Empire period, it is likely that tribal and clan authority had a large role in determining households’ land use patterns. One Mongolian scholar, Bat-Ochir Bold, has offered the generalization that even without strict borders between pasture zones, the different Mongolian and Turkic tribes in the era before Chinggis Khan “followed the ancient tradition, or the optimal method, of pasture land use” and lived for the most part in harmony.1 Of course, such a generalization is difficult to prove or disprove, and no definition of “ancient tradition” is offered.]
