Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most countries have not yet adopted mountain-specific laws, preferring to protect mountains through existing sectoral legislation. However, countries such as France, Georgia, Italy, Russian Federation (North Ossetia-Alania), Switzerland and Ukraine, have enacted legal instruments dealing specifically with mountains, and other countries are developing similar legislation. This publication broadly describes the main elements of international and national mountain-specific legal texts, and also includes national case studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Works exploring the responses of global mountain communities to the shared challenges and opportunities their unique locations afford them. No matter where they are located in the world, communities living in mountain regions have shared experiences defined in large part by contradictions. These communities often face social and economic marginalization despite providing the lumber, coal, minerals, tea, and tobacco that have fueled the growth of nations for centuries. They are perceived as remote and socially inferior backwaters on one hand while simultaneously seen as culturally rich and spiritually sacred spaces on the other. These contradictions become even more fraught as environmental changes and political strains place added pressure on these mountain communities. Shifting national borders and changes to watersheds, forests, and natural resources play an increasingly important role as nations respond to the needs of a global economy. The works in this volume consider multiple nations, languages, generations, and religions in their exploration of upland communities’ responses to the unique challenges and opportunities they share. From paintings to digital mapping, environmental studies to poetry, land reclamation efforts to song lyrics, the collection provides a truly interdisciplinary and global study. The editors and authors offer a cross-cultural exploration of the many strategies that mountain communities are employing to face the concerns of the future. “Global Mountain Regions is an outstanding addition to the inventory of the interdisciplinary field of montology, the study of mountains. For any scholar or student interested in the human dimensions of mountain regions, many if not all of the essays will be valuable references.” —American Ethnologist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO MOUNTAIN ENVIRONMENTS MAKE THEIR COMMUNITIES DIFFERENT? Mountains continue to hold a fascination for residents and visitors alike. Around 10 per cent of the world's population actually live in mountain regions and 25-30 per cent directly rely on mountain resources. They are of great religious significance, as well as a global focus for tourism. The distinctive nature of mountain regions is now formally recognised as part of the UN Agenda 21, and 2002 has been declared the International Year of Mountains. Mountain Environments and Communities explains the background physical environment and then explores the environmental and social dimensions of mountain regions; three themes emerge from the book: -- Mountain communities are not as 'conservative' as some popular accounts portray. Particularly in developing countries, they adopt highly innovative lifestyles and must be resilient in the face of constant challenges and conflicting pressures from their physical and political environment. -- The altitudinal characteristics of mountains generate specific sets of physical processes, but their significance is highly variable in time and space and depends as much on the social as the physical context. Biodiversity and conservation issues are emphasised over and above hazards. -- Although there has been a concerted effort to develop specific policies of sustainable development for mountain regions, there remain considerable problems to be surmounted before these can be fully achieved. This critical review of the concepts currently employed in mountain research draws upon a wide range of examples from developed and developing countries. The dynamics of mountain life are describedthrough both historical accounts of village-based systems and examples of the contemporary impact of global capital and sustainable development strategies.
