Pastoral Nomad Rights in Inner Mongolia
It is not scientific to manage grasslands as farmland and manage nomads as farmers. We report evidence from Inner Mongolia that privatization of grassland use rights has led to large-scale wire fencing, grassland conversion to farming, excessive livestock stocking, and crises in grassland
ecology, herders' living conditions and the Mongolian nomadic culture. The paper concludes that the ecological and cultural function of nomadism is non-substitutable from the perspectives of ecological security and cultural inheritance. The authors suggest that we should abolish private grassland
use rights, tear down wire fencing, abolish set stocking rates and establish a legal nomad administrative licensing system to resume nomadism.

Human rights and education: The case of the Negev Bedouins
This paper builds upon research conducted in 1977, presented at the WCCES World Congress in London (published in Bernstein-Tarrow, 1978), as well as subsequent research and publications in the field of human rights and human rights education. Based on the assumption (reinforced by numerous international agreements) that education is a human right and that education about human rights is their ultimate sanction, the paper analyzes the situation of the Bedouins of the Negev 30 years later, examining the relationship between demographic factors, socioeconomic factors and political issues, on the one hand, and human rights in general and the right to education in particular, on the other. In terms of Israel's responsibilities as signatory to various international agreements, assuring equal rights to its citizens, consideration is given to such issues as educational objectives, budget, staffing, dropouts and the role of non-governmental organizations dedicated to ensuring the right to education and education about human rights.

Somalia grabbed international attention in 1992 as the world’s media broadcast images of a people dying from hunger in the midst of a terrifyingly violent conflict between competing warlords and their drug-crazed fighters vying for control of a collapsed state.

The Somali state had collapsed in 1991 as civil war engulfed Mogadishu and the corrupt and oppressive military regime of President Mohamed Siad

Government been mustering me
The title of this chapter comes from the statement, ‘Government been mustering me from the beginning, now they still mustering me’, made by an elderly Waanyi woman resident on Mornington Island (interview, July 2003). She was discussing her personal experience of state control of Indigenous people, and reflecting on her perception that the Gulf Communities Agreement (GCA) restricts Indigenous choices about the nature of their engagement with the mining industry. The metaphor used by her calls upon the historically unequal relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in the pastoral industry and that were sanctioned by the state. The statement also
