dc.description.abstract
It has to be stated from the beginning that grasslands in Kyrgyzstan have a
crucial economic importance from the macroeconomic national level down to the
level of local households as supplier of natural animal fodder, as well as
crucial ecological meanings such as for water and nutrient cycling,
filtration, and soil formation. In spite of the vast expanse of pasture lands
and the reduction of livestock numbers in the 1990s, the scope and diversity
of pasture-related socio-ecological challenges have increased remarkably, and
have come to endanger the continued provision of these services (Wilson
1997:62–63; Undeland 2005: 22). Degradation leads to a growing shortage of
grassland, and pasture-related conflicts jeopardize the country’s social
integrity. Based on these facts, this presentation has two objectives. The
first is to shed light on the importance of legal institutions for the
emergence of pasture-related social and ecological problems. Second, it
advocates for a participatory approach to the creation of institutional
regulations regarding the management and utilization of natural resources.
Including the local population in the pasture utilization-related institution-
building process can make a decisive contribution to a sustainable development
of the country’s society by balancing different interests. The hypothesis to
be explored is that formal institutions, especially top-down-initiated legal
rules, are decisively contributing to the formation of socio-ecological
pasturerelated challenges.
