Anotácia knihy

In Niger the question of rights to pastoral resources§illustrates how struggles in Western mindset have§been transported to the developing world. On the one§hand there has been an attempt to standardise legal§frameworks and land tenure practices with uniform§rules. On the other hand,§since the 1990s customary practices are increasingly§recognised in legal frameworks. "Struggling for water§and pastures in Niger" investigates the philosophical§assumptions behind the rules governing rights to§water and pastures. It shows how these assumptions§inform natural resource struggles on the ground. The§book reveals that points of contest between§universalism and cultural relativism in regards to§property, public authority and justice are reflected§in both national legislation and international§development practices. On the basis of a sensitive§study of struggles over water and pastures in the§pastoral areas the author accounts for the outcome of§conflict and cooperation and explains why herders,§like people in other cultures, conceive of their§rights in a contradictory manner: as requiring§adoption to cultural specific conditions and yet§applies universally to all.
