Abstract

[Land use in post-1990 Mongolia has been in constant flux, often reacting to environmental, demographic, economic, political, and legal pressures. This chapter will attempt to trace the changes in land use and examine ways in which herders participate in decisions regarding land use issues in Mongolia’s countryside. Land use in post-1990 Mongolia cannot be summarized easily: variation in practice belies the notion that laws enacted by Mongolia’s Ikh Khural (parliament) will lead to uniformity and fairness across the landscape. This chapter will also place Mongolia in a comparative context, examining policies governing herders in the pastoral zones of the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan. The role of agriculture in Mongolian history and agriculture’s future in Mongolia are important issues that will be addressed in chapter 6.]
