  • Manzano & Casas 2010 Pastoralism (Practical Action)
    Past, present and future of Trashumancia in Spain: nomadism in a developed country PABLO MANZANO BAENA and RAQUEL CASAS Spain presents exceptional ecological conditions for mobile pastoralism. Its semi- arid climate and its geography combine large biomass production in different places of the country at different times of the year. This creates an ecological rationale for the migration of large herbivores that was continued after the domestication of ruminants. Mobile livestock herding in Spain, known as transhumance, has been especially related to sheep husbandry and fi ne wool production and has been very important in the country’s past. In spite of a decline in mobile pastoralism from the 19th century onwards, its traces are still clear in Spanish legislation as well as in Spanish animal husbandry practices. But what are the reasons for this past importance? Why has mobile pastoral- ism declined and why, nevertheless, has it survived? In this paper we analyse the causes for its existence and for its past importance in Spain, and we describe the decline experienced in the two last centuries and present the present situation of transhumance and its future prospects. Keywords: pastoralism, Spain, transhumance, ecology, history Introduction Grasslands represent a large portion of the world’s continental surface and are the natural systems which support the largest herbivore biomass (Frank et al. 1998). Grasslands are usually represented in semi-arid areas of subtropi- cal and temperate countries, as high rainfall leads to a forested landscape or to more productive agricultural uses. Nomadic pasturelands are estimated to occupy 26 million km2, doubling the surface dedicated to agriculture (Grigg 1974).

THIS IS NOT A FESTIVAL. TRANSHUMANCE-BASED ECONOMIES ON TURKEY'S UPLAND PASTURES Nicolas Elias (Translated by Saskia Brown) ABSTRACT This article sets out to study how an instituted practice of pastoral societies has evolved under the industrialised, capitalist Turkey of the last decade. In the Pontic Mountains, in north-eastern Turkey, the celebrations that take place every summer on the upland pastures are some of the most eagerly-awaited events. Until recently they were related to pastoralism and transhumance. But, although pastoralism has collapsed, the number and popularity of these events is growing yearly. When the ethnographic study of the most famous of them (Kadirga) is related to recent social transformations in Turkey (migration, development of the culture industry, urbanisation, etc.), it becomes clear how such celebrations are instrumentalised by the new political economy.

  • Terminology for Integrated Resources Planning and Management
    Terminology for Integrated Resources Planning and Management February 1998 compiled and edited by Keya Choudhury and Louisa J.M. Jansen Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Preface An integrated approach to the planning and management of land resources has been developed by FAO since its appointment as Task Manager for the implementation of Agenda 21/Chapter 10 (UN, 1992). The new approach emphasizes two main characteristics: - the active participation of stakeholders at national, provincial and local levels in the process of planning and decision making; and - the integration of technical, institutional, legal and socio-economic aspects. To achieve the implementation of land-use planning and land management cooperation among experts from the disciplines involved and integration of the respective results are required in order to identify and evaluate all biophysical, socio- economic and legal attributes of the land. The glossary aims to contribute to the development of a common technical language in land resources planning and management. The terms, methods and concepts used by the different sectors involved should be understood by all partners in an identical way, independent from their backgrounds and professional experiences. The terms and definitions which are included in this glossary encompass conservation and management of soil, (fresh-) water and vegetation; climate; farming systems; crop production, livestock and fish production; land tenure and sustainable development.

  • Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period Ryan
    Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions.

  • Le Journal De Jica Niger
    L E J O U R N A L DE JICA NIGE R Bulletin d’information de la JICA - N i g e r N ゜ 0 0 9 j u i n 2 011 LES MOTS DU REPRESENTANT RESIDENT DE LA JICA AU NIGER Je voudrais féliciter tous les nigériens pour le retour du Niger à une vie constitutionnelle normale avec un gouvernement démocratiquement élu. C’est assurément un motif de fierté pour les nigériens surtout eu égard à la situation sociopolitique qui prévaut dans la plupart des pays de la sous région caractérisée par une certaine instabilité institutionnelle. L’Agence Japonaise de Coopération Internationale (JICA) ne manquera pas cette opportunité pour contribuer, de manière significative, à la relance et au renforcement de la coopération technique et financière entre le Japon et le Niger dont les premiers jalons ont été posés en 1976. Dans son discours d’investiture SEM Mahamadou Issoufou, Président de la République du Niger, a réaffirmé sa détermination de mettre un accent particulier sur l’éducation de base, la Santé Publique et la sécurité alimentaire qui constituent de grands défis à relever. La JICA pour sa part, entend plus que par le passé, réitérer son ferme engagement et sa volonté d’œuvrer aux cotés des laborieuses populations nigériennes pour la recherche d’un mieux-être et d’un meilleur avenir. LES MOTS DU DIRECTEUR AMERIQUE ASIE OCEANIE (DAMAO) SUITE AU DEPART DEFINITIF DES VOLONTAIRES JAPONAIS DU NIGER Le retrait des volontaires japonais au Niger a été fortement ressenti par les SOMMAIRE communautés nigériennes.
