In this paper, we examine how the 2008-2009 drought in northern Tanzania contributed to and catalyzed the transformation of governance concerning the management of natural resources from traditional informal institutions among the Maasai to formal village-based institutions. Our central argument is that village governance in northern Tanzania represents a new, formal institution that is supplementing and in some important ways obviating traditional, informal institutions. Further, this replacement is central to what appears to be a transformation of the social-ecological system embracing the rangelands and pastoral/agropastoral people in northern Tanzania. In this paper, we document the basis for our claims concerning the institutional shift and discuss its implications for livelihoods and social relationships.
在本文中，我们研究了2008 - 2009年坦桑尼亚北部的干旱如何促成并催化了自然资源管理方面的治理转变，即从马赛人传统的非正式制度转变为基于村庄的正式制度。我们的核心观点是，坦桑尼亚北部的村庄治理代表了一种新的正式制度，它正在补充并在某些重要方面取代传统的非正式制度。此外，这种替代对于坦桑尼亚北部牧场及牧民/农牧民所构成的社会生态系统的转变至关重要。在本文中，我们记录了关于制度转变主张的依据，并讨论了其对生计和社会关系的影响。
