Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to show the relevance that institutions governing common-pool resources (CPRs) play in peasant resilience. It outlines nine variables for resilience taken from socio-economic and ecological anthropological theories focusing on subsistence and minimax strategies and used for the comparative historical analysis of African case studies. These include drylands (Morocco, Ghana), semi-arid areas (Sierra Leone, Malawi, Tanzania) and wetlands (Cameroon, Kenya, Zambia). The variables could be found under pre-colonial common property but were no longer operating during colonial and postcolonial institutional change from common to state property and privatisation via land grabbing, leading to commons and resilience grabbing.

从公域到韧性争夺——基于历史的非洲农民社会人类学研究

摘要本文旨在揭示公共资源管理制度与农民韧性的相关性。它概述了从社会经济和生态人类学理论中提取的九个恢复力变量，这些理论侧重于生存和极小最大化策略，并用于非洲案例研究的比较历史分析。这些地区包括旱地(摩洛哥、加纳)、半干旱地区(塞拉利昂、马拉维、坦桑尼亚)和湿地(喀麦隆、肯尼亚、赞比亚)。这些变量可以在殖民前的共同财产下找到，但在殖民和后殖民时期从共同财产到国有财产和通过土地掠夺私有化的制度变革中不再起作用，从而导致公地和弹性掠夺。

期刊介绍： Continuity and Change aims to define a field of historical sociology concerned with long-term continuities and discontinuities in the structures of past societies. Emphasis is upon studies whose agenda or methodology combines elements from traditional fields such as history, sociology, law, demography, economics or anthropology, or ranges freely between them. There is a strong commitment to comparative studies over a broad range of cultures and time spans.
