摘要 与畜牧业被风险规避驱动的观点相反，基于不平衡的新牧场生态动力学模型使我们能够将畜牧业视为组织理论家所说的高可靠性机构。此类机构通过管理高度复杂的技术来更好地管理风险，寻求并获得可靠的峰值绩效。描述了高可靠性组织的九个特征，并将其与已发表的对牧民组织和实践的观察联系起来。尽管表面上相似，但从寻求可靠性而不是逃避危险的角度来思考牧民目标，对于解释牧民行为和发展政策具有重要意义。
Abstract In contrast to the view of pastoralism as being driven by risk aversion, new disequilibrium-based models of ecological dynamics on rangelands enable us to see pastoralism as what organization theorists term a high reliability institution . Such institutions seek and attain reliable peak performance by managing highly complex technologies to better manage risk. Nine features of high-reliability organizations are described and linked to published observations of pastoralist organization and practice. Although superficially similar, thinking of pastoralist objectives in terms of searching for reliability, rather than escaping from hazard, has important implications for interpreting pastoralist behavior, and for development policy.
