Common property over time:access to and distribution of resources among pastoralists in central Tibet (1884‐2004)
Significant political and economic changes have occurred among Tibetan‐speaking pastoralists in China.The goal of this research is to test whether the relative availability of common pool resources has remained constant or been transformed.Given the marginality of Tibets environment, one may initially hypothesize that resource use and property regimes were determined by ecological factors like precipitation rather than socio‐political or economic circumstances.In terms of rangeland management, one would presume stability in pasture boundaries and the distribution of grassland resources.Instead, boundaries and patterns of resource availability were found to be dynamic.
