Some notes on the nomadism of modern Mongolia: the anthropology of resource conflict

The article is devoted to the analysis of the deep-seated changes occurring in the nomadism of Mongolia. The author notes that the traditional nomadic way of life has faced a number of challenges. In the conditions of rapid growth of the market economy, pastureland use has faced serious competition from mining enterprises and producers of agricultural crops. In addition to the conflict of interests between subjects with different economic activities, the internal struggle for pastures among the nomads themselves is growing.
