Summary, etc Abstract<br/>In this two part analysis I attempt to answer questions with<br/>reference to historical land use and tenurial systems in<br/>Bhutan. The first part throws light on the popularly held view<br/>that land tenure in Bhutan was feudal prior to the advent of<br/>moderisation. By looking at the lived experiences of peasants<br/>in Bhutan, as human agents at the nexus of social, political,<br/>economic, and ecological forces, a nuanced and complex<br/>picture of land use systems in Bhutan emerges. I argue that<br/>in contradistinction to a feudal tenancy mode, historically<br/>land has been held in private for the most part although other<br/>arrangements existed alongside private property ownership.<br/>Monastic estates, and estates belonging to the handful of<br/>nobility were worked by tenured serfs and slaves.<br/>In part II, I have tried to build an analytical framework for an<br/>alternative explanation to feudalism in Bhutan. Rather than<br/>relying on the 'Tibetan model' and the 'empty land model'<br/>which are closely linked, I instead build a layer model for the<br/>explanation of land use systems in Bhutan.
