THE CONSEQUENCES OF POST-SOCIALIST TRANSITION AND DECENTRALIZATION FOR RURAL LIVELIHOODS AND PASTURE LAND MANAGEMENT IN MONGOLIA
This research paper examines the impact of post-socialist transition and decentralization on rural livelihoods and pasture land management in Mongolia during the 1990s. It argues that while formal political decentralization has occurred, a lack of administrative and fiscal autonomy has created an 'institutional vacuum' or 'de facto' decentralization. This environment, characterized by rising social inequality and a decline in pastoral mobility, poses significant threats to environmental sustainability and increases the vulnerability of poor herders to natural hazards.
