  • Between commons and anticommons

    Open AccessWenjun Li, Carol KervenARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2024

    The collapse of the former Soviet Union signaled failure of large-scale experiment in communitarian property. Privatization reform consequently was taken as the start point to transfer the planned economy to a market economy by the post socialist countries. This also occurred in economic transition countries such as China. However, in overcoming the tragedy of the commons privatization might create anticommons problems. Here we develop a nested c…

  • Exploring the role of nested institutions in community-based tourism development

    Gongbu Zeren, Junjie Lu et al.ARTICLEJournal of Sustainable Tourism2022References: 7

    Community-based tourism is key to rural sustainable development. However, information remains inadequate on how natural resource management institutions restructure community social capital and property rights regimes while developing community cooperation and tourism participation within evolving rural socio-economic systems. This study investigates two rural villages, one under a household-based rangeland transfer system and the other under a c…

  • Pastoralists as Optimal Foragers? Reoccupation and Site Selection in the Deserts of Post-Soviet Kazakhstan

    Open AccessRobinson, Carol Kerven et al.ARTICLEHuman Ecology2017

    This study explores the drivers of site selection amongst livestock owners under conditions of increasing animal numbers following a low point in the 1990s. Our major goal was to understand whether livestock owners are acting as 'optimal foragers,' targeting areas of highest forage availability as they colonise previously empty areas. The results presented here suggest that they do not. Initially, distance from home settlement was the dominant de…

  • Researching the Future of Pastoralism in Central Asia's Mountains

    Open AccessCarol Kerven, Bernd Steimann et al.ARTICLEMountain Research and Development2012

    This paper synthesizes research findings on contemporary mountain pastoralism in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, based on a longer review characterizing mountain agropastoralism in Central Asia. We focus here on the principal issues that have been emphasized over the past two decades in policy, programs, and projects regarding pastoralism in Central Asia's mountains. We conclude that this emphasis has largely been driven by two unproven orthodoxies ab…

  • Academics, practitioners and all kinds of women in development

    Carol KervenARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies1984Cited by: 9References: 3

    Peters' selective critique of the literature on women in Botswana' illustrates a divergence of perspective between academic research on the one hand and social policy research on the other. Conference between these endeavours is occuring, represented by the development academic (as in the case of Peters, employed by the Harvard Institute of International Development) who is, however, not actively engaged in applieddevelopmentwork. Peters' initial…
