Abstract
The exacerbation of the ecological—economic contradiction in pastoral regions has precipitated a salient dilemma of the institutional fit for the grassland household contracting system,a policy enacted for more than two decades.Through a case study of Maqu County,this paper analyzes the institutional fit dilemma of the household-based grassland contracting system and explores pathways toward property rights reform.Research has found that practical dilemmas in household-based contracting system manifests in three key aspects:First,natural endowment constraints render winter-spring pastures inadequate for settled household needs;Second,equity imbalances lead to uneven resource allocation and the encroachment by large livestock owners upon smallholders'interests;Third,pervasive fencing fragments grassland integrity,while concurrent overstocking drives ecological degradation.In this context,the herder-led grassland shareholding collective model presents a compelling alternatives.Its approach,epitomized by"fragmented yet cohesive"share-based entitlements and village-level stocking controls,effectively tackles the dual limitations of resource distribution and fairness inherent in household contracting,sustains grassland ecosystem integrity,and secures pastoral livelihoods through adaptable equity circulation.The case demonstrates that by effectively addressing the forage-livestock imbalance,the shareholding collective model paves the way for standardized infrastructure and high-quality eco-economic development in pastoral regions,thereby providing critical insights for advancing property rights reform and establishing a sustainable grassland governance framework.关键词
