Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research question of this research project is "where is equilibrium point between subsistence and industry in Mongolian pastoral societies, under the current situation that pastoral societies are involved in global market economy through their de-subsistence process?". In original plan, our team including the PI and 2 co-researcher would carry out 3 years long comparative study about diet and living which were chosen as examples of commercialized subsistence products through de-subsistence process in Inner and Outer Mongolia. However, as COVID-19 pandemic prevented us from carrying out field research, we focused our research on analysis of clarification on historical changing process of equilibrium point between subsistence and industry in Inner and Outer Mongolia in recent 100 years.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、途中COVID-19パンデミックに現地調査を阻まれて1年の延長を余儀なくされたものの、逆にパンデミックという社会的災害を経て牧畜社会の生業性と産業性の均衡点が移動する様子を記録することに成功した。また、社会主義時代など過去の資料の分析を通じ、脱生業化以前にも生業性と産業性の均衡点が存在してきたことを明らかにできた点に学術的意義がある。本研究の社会的意義としては、歴史的に均衡点が存在したことが牧畜社会の持続可能性をもたらしてきたことを示し、さらに乾燥地域の環境に適応した牧畜が今後も継続するために不可欠な実証的データを提供することで、現地社会の持続性や安定に寄与する点が挙げられる。
