  • Geopolitical Relations and Regional Restructuring: the Case of the Kumaon Himalaya, India
    2012 Vol. 66 · No. 2 · 91–107 GEOPOLITICAL RELATIONS AND REGIONAL RESTRUCTURING: THE CASE OF THE KUMAON HIMALAYA, INDIA Martin Gerwin and Christoph Bergmann With 4 figures, 1 table and 1 photo Received 06. September 2011 · Accepted 02. May 2012 Summary: While the formation and regulation of international borders have long been on the agenda of geographical and social science research, the actions of populations residing in state-peripheries have received inadequate attention so far. Our case study focuses on the so-called ‘Bhotiyas’ in North India’s Kumaon Himalaya. The Bhotiyas consist of several valley communities who were formerly involved in trans-Himalayan trade. Their ethnic identities and livelihoods remain closely linked to the area of the Sino-Indian border, which was sealed as a result of the war between the two countries in 1962. We contend that these borderlanders are not passive victims of geopolitically induced interventions, but rather active partici- pants in the restructuring of their contested live worlds. Based on the assumption that geopolitical realities are forged across a variety of scale-levels, we analyze shifting livelihoods in terms of both a specific socio-cultural context and broader webs of relations to which people have access or from which they are excluded. This offers new insight into highland-lowland interactions of mountain systems and brings the utilization of natural resources more strongly to the fore of borderland studies. Zusammenfassung: �����������Obwohl die �����������������������������������������������������ntstehung und die Aufrechterhaltung internationaler �����������������������������renzen schon einiges an Auf- merksamkeit in der �eographie und den Sozialwissenschaften erhalten haben, findet das Leben der in diesen staatlichen Randgebieten wohnenden Menschen bisher erst wenig Beachtung.
