Abstract:This introduction to an issue devoted to farmer-herder conflicts among the Fulbe of West Africa explores some common themes in these conflicts and raises a number of questions that concern the understanding of farmer-herder conflicts in West Africa. Issues discussed include competition over land; competition between different sociocultural groups; the interpretation of conflicts; methodological issues; the larger institutional context of the neopatrimonial State, including the balance of power and the logic of the instrumentalization of disorder of the elite that shape the outcomes of struggles over land between herders and farmers; individual gain; and conflicting interests.
