Informed by in-depth case studies from Mongolia, Buryatia and Kyrgyzstan, the essays focus on themes in contemporary pastoralism, including the adaptation and resilience of rural pastoralist livelihoods during and after the Covid-19 pandemic; healing, food and wellbeing, including an examination of rural experiences of wellbeing and the re-invention and revival of traditional foods; and economic relations, including changing spatialisation of labour spurred by mineral extraction, the role of digital media and urban-rural dynamics. The volume presents insights into contemporary human geography and anthropology of the Inner Asian region; highlights the ongoing importance of scholarship on rural places; and offers a critical lens on broader processes of change affecting the region. A collaboration between scholars spanning Japan, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, the UK and the USA, the volume showcases work by diverse authors with longstanding engagement in Inner Asia.</p> 01 00 03 02 https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.63308/63899870973021.book_frontcover.jpg The White Horse Press 01 The White Horse Press 16 UK Research and Innovation 01 programname Economic and Social Research Council 01 grantnumber ES/W011999/1 Winwick, Cambs. 04 19 2026 06 15 9781912186914 06 15 9781912186921 06 15 9781917813082 09 The White Horse Press 29 Publisher's website: download the title https://books.whpress.co.uk/10.63308/63899870973021.book.pdf 99 04 09 The White Horse Press 02 Publisher's website: web shop https://www.whpress.co.uk/publications/2025/02/06/ruraltransitions/ 99 04
