Over the last decades, the interrelations at local, national, and global scales have intensified in historically unprecedented forms and intensity. At the same time, homogenizing global processes have generated parochial and vernacular reactions. This book aims at developing an appropriate analysis of these interactions and, thus, at supplementing the previous collection on the Politics of Belonging in the Himalayas Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Print version record Subject Ethnic groups -- Himalaya Mountains Region Group identity -- Himalaya Mountains Region Nationalism -- Himalaya Mountains Region National characteristics.
