Research Abstract |
Social networks of pastoral resource use in Mongolia mainly consist of kinship. Most herder groups established by "Community based natural resource management" (CBNRM) projects consists of close kin, too. Those herder groups are likely to increase exclusionary attitude of the members towards outsiders. This leads to weakening and abolishing social networks of existential ethics, which have supported long movements of herders in case of harsh weather. The logic of "clearly defined boundaries," the first one of Ostrom's design principles and applied as a blueprint to CBNRM projects in Mongolia, is the same as that of privatization presented by Hardin as a solution of "Tragedy of the Commons" dilemma. "Clearly defining boundaries" is deemed as a prerequisite to internalize external cost. This logic makes CBNRM approach to be a substitute for privatization of pastureland in the context of pastoralism in post-socialist Mongolia.
