商品描述

In an era of rapidly shifting socioeconomic landscapes and mounting climate challenges, understanding and improving the welfare of pastoralist societies in Africa's fragile drylands is more critical than ever. This book offers an evidence-based contribution to that effort. Drawing on two decades of research and repeated household surveys in the Borana region of southern Ethiopia, the study explores the major challenges faced by peripheral pastoralist communities amid environmental change and socioeconomic transition. Using both quantitative and qualitative data from seven systematically selected sites, the book builds a robust panel dataset collected over three survey rounds since 2002, with detailed analyses based on the most recent 2012 and 2021 surveys. The core objective is to empirically trace long-term trends in pastoral well-being--allowing the data to speak for itself. Beyond academic discourse, this work serves as a practical resource for policy analysis and development programming, offering insights for students, researchers, planners, and aid practitioners committed to sustainable development in Africa's pastoral peripheries. The book is organized into two parts: Part One provides a conceptual foundation and reviews key debates on pastoralism and development. Part Two presents empirical analyses on household economies, climate adaptation, poverty and vulnerability, food security, and resilience to shocks.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在快速變化的社會經濟環境和日益嚴峻的氣候挑戰下，了解並改善非洲脆弱乾燥地區牧民社會的福祉比以往任何時候都更為重要。本書為這一努力提供了基於證據的貢獻。該研究基於在埃塞俄比亞南部博拉納地區進行的二十年研究和多次家庭調查，探討了邊緣牧民社區在環境變化和社會經濟轉型中面臨的主要挑戰。利用來自七個系統選擇地點的定量和定性數據，本書建立了一個自2002年以來在三輪調查中收集的穩健面板數據集，並基於最新的2012年和2021年調查進行詳細分析。核心目標是實證追踪牧民福祉的長期趨勢——讓數據自我發聲。除了學術討論外，這項工作還作為政策分析和發展規劃的實用資源，為致力於非洲牧民邊緣可持續發展的學生、研究人員、規劃者和援助工作者提供見解。本書分為兩部分：第一部分提供概念基礎並回顧牧民與發展的關鍵辯論。第二部分則呈現有關家庭經濟、氣候適應、貧困與脆弱性、糧食安全以及對衝擊的韌性的實證分析。
