This book makes a paradigm-shifting contribution to the geopolitical study of the region by including the Himalaya itself-its geology, ecologies and peoples-in its analysis. Given that these mountains provide water to half of humanity, the book is a much-needed, internationally important intervention." - Dr Ruth Gamble (La Trobe University)
"An essential and timely intervention in South Asian IR and geopolitics, a field currently dominated by statist analysis, often to the exclusion of urgent concerns of the increasingly fragile Himalayan ecology. The book initiates much needed conversations in IR, South Asian Studies and Himalayan Studies." - Dr Sonika Gupta (IIT Madras)
The book addresses the urgent need for rethinking the geopolitics and ecology in the Himalaya, by emphasising the entanglements between these two factors. Most international relations analyses of the Himalaya emphasize the central role of the region's states and their great power struggles. By reducing the region to its state actors, however, we miss the intense more-than-human diversity of the region, and the crucial role that the mountains play in the global environment.
