Abstract:
This article examines the place of Nomadic peoples in an international constitutionalism. The article claims that an important element of a Nomadic culture is its sense of law. Such a sense of law differs from a constitutionalism which has privileged fundamental principles aimed to constrain acts of the executive arm of the State. Such a constitutionalism is shared by many contemporary domestic legal orders. Public international law also takes such a constitutionalism for granted. In the focus upon rules to constrain the executive arm of the State, the sense of law in Nomadic communities has s

This study examines the multifaceted impacts of Russian colonization on the Kazakh Steppes during the 19ᵗʰ and 20ᵗʰ centuries. The colonization process caused significant destruction in various fields in the region, including migration routes, livestock herds, socioeconomic life, trade networks, housing and dietary patterns of nomadic communities. Russian expansionism, aimed at establishing control over the steppe, led to the blockage of ancient migration routes and the restriction of nomadic economic resources.

In contemporary historiography, there is a growing interest in interactions between nomadic peoples and the empires of sedentary peoples in antiquity, with particular emphasis on late antiquity. Differences in the perception of nomadic communities’ impact on the economy cause a conceptual confusion. It is largely due to differences in the perception of the influence that nomadic communities had in shaping the functioning of trade routes leading from one part of Eurasia to another.

Abstract Gerontologists have made remarkable strides in understanding the experiences of older adults in various contexts. Yet, amid this progress, some communities remain overlooked, such as older nomads in Mongolia. Notably, Mongolia is one of the last bastions of nomadism in the world. Today, many of the remaining nomads are individuals in their later years. This study aims to illuminate the lived experiences of older nomads in Mongolia. Specifically, we explore how they navigate the duality of being old and nomadic, particularly amid a changing social, political, economic and environmental

Regarding the nomadic population of the studied territories, the authors identify two approaches to the formation of territorial communities of nomads. The first approach is associated with the integration of nomadic households into the market system of relations and the achievement of a high level of marketability. This served as a kind of trigger for economic individualization and the formation of nomadic families as separate economic cells. The second is the formation of a territ

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter studies the relationships and interaction among the Latvian emigrants from different migration waves in the United States. It specifically examines reasons for the inability of the existing and politically and culturally active Latvian diaspora community in the United States to integrate newcomers from Latvia. The diaspora community is formed mostly of migrants who left Latvia after World War II. The research is based on a mix of two sources of information and methods – qualitative analysis of in-depth interviews with the ‘new’ Latvian emigrants in the United States in 2014, who began arriving there in 1991 and quantitative data analysis of The Emigrant Communities of Latvia survey. The study illustrates that the migrants from the most recent emigration wave distance themselves to a large extent from the previous migration wave. Additionally, the most recent migrants do not have strong social ties or active networks with Latvians back home and, therefore, cannot be considered as being a part of a transnational community, which is a characteristic of the previous Latvian migration wave. Instead, the migrants from the most recent wave base their belonging on the notion of having roots in Europe in terms of cultural heritage and identity. For this reason, they are to be considered as so-called ‘nomadic’ migrants, although this differs substantially from the way the concept is used in the academic literature so far – there is no return point back home, as they only look forward.

AbstractIn the preface to the first edition of the Critique of Pure Reason Immanuel Kant compares sceptics to nomads, who despise the cultivation of soil and therefore dissolve the civic communities of their opponents from time to time (Kant 1929). This process of construction and destruction continues afterwards. Although scepticism and relativism are two different philosophical positions, relativists may show enough similarities with sceptics to count them among Kantian nomads. Historiographical relativists despise the claim that a settlement was always built on the same foundation. This raises a couple of questions: Who are these people? What are their reasons? What is more basically their general motivation? And how convincing are both—their reasons and their motivations?

Abstract:
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been used and developed by mobile communities. Many rural communities around the world were latecomers to ICT development. However, when they were able to access new and emerging technologies, they often leaped over older technological tools and systems. This chapter introduces these technologies, their emergence, and the international development programs that funded their expansion into the most rural locations. While many readers from settled and Western communities use the same technologies, this chapter introduces some of the novel adaptations that herding communities have made to utilize ICTs while on the move. In this chapter, I explore the development and instillation of these emergent technologies and resulting communicative networks, which have the potential to change herding communities’ relations with the state, access to banking, and use of image testimony.

 il caso di Acireale, città insulare di circa 50.000 abitanti, posta lungo la costa orientale sicula,

 paesaggio dell’Aci trattiene geomorfologie e memorie antiche. Ricomporne le alterne vicende

A futuristic perspective of “storytelling” as an educating design tool in an architecture elective course that explores Afrofuturism within Architecture. Afrofuturism offers a critical approach to thinking about future built environments of African and African Diasporic communities throughout the world. The course is rooted in a method that introduces Afrofuturism, a school of thought addressing intersections of afro-culture, the use of science and technology to project futures of liberation and in¬novation, using imagination.1 A study of Ten Principles of Black Space Design, authored by Ameri

Abstract:
This research report is a case study on local peace practices within pastoralist communities in Kenya’s Turkana North (a subcounty of Kenya’s Turkana County). While significant existing research and analysis has focused on the concern that pastoralist communities across the African continent may contribute to growing violent conflict—and in particular to violent extremism—this report instead situates these communities within the theoretical framework of “everyday peace.” This framework centers on understanding the myriad ways in which ordinary people in conflict-affected contexts engage in sma

Abstract:
This case study documents experiences from a project working in communities in Plateau and Nasarawa states, Nigeria, where there are fragile relationships between farmers and herders and a history of violent clashes. The conflict between farmers and herders has been fuelled by a struggle for resource control and ownership of land and water. The nomadic nature of the herders makes it easy for them to move from one place to another, while the farmers are more stable. Some herders move to an entirely different location, while others move during rainy seasons and come back during the dry season. T

Abstract:
Designing effective interventions requires the inclusion and buy-in of beneficiary communities; however, because of constraints and context, fully participatory research can be challenging. The Afar people of northern Ethiopia live in what can be considered the very definition of 'challenging contexts'. Largely nomadic pastoralists, they navigate a harsh and unforgiving landscape, often having to travel great distances for water. In 2020, FMC undertook a qualitative research study investigating the attitudes and practices of target communities in Afar relating to nutrition and WASH. Using Phot
