Alpine Landgesellschaften zwischen Urbanisierung und Globalisierung
In recent decades, analyses on spatial change have addressed mountains as
specifc and crucial places for resilience and global sustainable development pathways. Comprehensive studies have recognized the complexity
of "mountain" research issues at local to global levels. This article takes
stock of the emerging shift in priorities across European research towards
analyzing interactions in social-ecological systems of mountain areas. The
analysis builds on long-term engagement in mountain research networks, the
elaboration of a European mountain research strategy, and expert interviews
on key requirements for research on mountain opportunities and challenges. In
order to understand the complex interrelations of mountain social-ecological
systems, it is crucial to apply inter- and transdisciplinary methods enabling
the elaboration of new narratives on mountain research that address pressing
societal challenges.
