Abstract
Increasing populations and agricultural encroachments upon rangelands are stressing traditional land management institutions in sub-Saharan Africa. We consider three characteristics of these systems: pasoralist mobility, common usage of communal pastures and the fuzzy, or imprecise, nature of traditional grazing rights. We find that in the presence of these factors the traditional system may be socially preferable to either privatization or the enforcement of complete common access for all users.
