Overview

The first volume explores the question of pastoral economies that have evolved under Russian, Mongolian, and Chinese governance; their current trajectories; and differing impact on the steppe environment. It examines the structure and process of land-use in Inner Asia, socio-economic aspects of the pastoral movement of Mongolian herders, and Inner Asia, grassland degradation and plant transformation. Volume Two looks at the great social change experienced throughout the region following the demise of the Soviet Union, the advent of democracy in Russia, and the economic reforms in China. Its contents include an examination of social attitudes regarding the environment, education, employment and unemployment, and the effect of privatization policies.
