对旱地生态和共同财产资源管理的新认识汇合在一起，可以说导致了一种“新的畜牧业发展模式”，这种模式在将更大的牧场管理权下放给当地群体的背景下，纳入了对牲畜流动重要性的广泛接受。尽管十多年来这一新模式引起了人们的兴趣和关注，但在实地取得的进展甚微。这篇文章的一个主要前提是，这种僵局的结果是持续的概念上的困难，牲畜流动性，非平衡生态学和共同财产制度之间的关系。解决这些困难的最好办法是根据特定地区的社会和生态现实开展工作。西非萨赫勒地区一年生草原的案例材料说明了这种接触的前景。对财产与旱地生态之间关系的重新概念化所产生的政策影响也作了介绍。
The confluence of new understandings of dryland ecology and common property resource management has arguably led to a “new pastoral development paradigm”—a paradigm that incorporates a widespread acceptance of the importance of livestock mobility within the context of devolving greater rangeland management authority to local groups. Despite over a decade of interest and attention generated by this new paradigm, little progress has been achieved on the ground. A major premise of this article is that this impasse results from persistent conceptual difficulties surrounding the relationship between livestock mobility, nonequilibrium ecology, and common property institutions. These difficulties are best resolved through work grounded in the social and ecological realities of particular regions. The promise of such engagements is illustrated through case material from the annual grasslands of Sahelian region of West Africa. The policy implications resulting from a reconceptualization of the relationship between property and dryland ecology are presented.
