Abstract

This chapter reviews previous research and summarizes our own findings that are based on extensive fieldwork conducted between 2007 and 2010 in the Eastern Pamirs region that covers part of eastern Tajikistan, western China, and northern Afghanistan. The entry point is an overview of the post-Soviet transformation processes in Central Asia that are related to pastures as common property. This is followed by a description of the politico-historical development in the Eastern Pamirs as it characterizes the basic conditions of economic and social life over time.
