Conflict, Development and Security at the Agro–Pastoral–Wildlife Nexus: A Case of Laikipia County, Kenya
基于肯尼亚莱基皮亚县的实证数据,分析农业、畜牧业与野生动物交界处的冲突如何影响人类安全,揭示自然资源管理、文化实践和治理是核心问题。
This article analyses the connections between conflict and development at the agriculture–pastoralism–wildlife interface from the perspective of human security. The article draws on empirical data (qualitative and quantitative) generated in Laikipia County, Kenya, and literature to illustrate that (1) the major issues which cut across each of these conflicts are related to natural resource management, cultural practices and governance, and (2) these cross-cutting issues impinge on people’s freedoms, extending these conflicts into cases of human insecurity. Specifically, each conflict type compounds the impacts of the others on farmer and pastoral economic, food, environmental, personal, community, health and political security.
