Nomadism and sedentarisation policies

Abstract: A ten page paper which looks at nomadism in various regions, and the impact which sedentarisation policies have had on the nomadic way of life, especially in respect of environmental and economic issues. The writer concludes that whereas voluntary sedentarisation has on the whole been successful, forced settlement has had a negative impact on both the environment and on the socio-economic systems of the regions concerned.
