The collapse of the Soviet Union has brought a range of privatization policies dismantling the collective state farms within which the Central Asian pastoralists plied their livelihoods. Kerven (Overseas Development Institute, UK) present 13 chapters that separately examine aspects of this transition in Kazakhstan, where it was sudden, and Turkmenistan, where it has been relatively gradual. The papers explore issues of environmental degradation, financial crisis due to reduced economies of scale and destocking, loss of markets, leasing schemes, and the growth of farmers' associations.
