This book is the fifth and the latest in the ‘Governance, Conflict and Civic Action’ series, all published by SAGE, comprising Local Democracy in South Asia: Microprocesses of Democratization in Nepal and its Neighbours (2008) edited by David N. Gellner and Krishna Hachhethu; Ethnic Activism and Civil Society in South Asia (2009), edited by David N. Gellner and Varieties of Activist Experience: Civil Society in South Asia (2010), edited by David N. Gellner. This volume is the second of two closely interrelated volumes, both focused on the concept of belonging in the Himalayas, and more broadly in South Asia. The first volume, The Politics of Belonging: Local Attachments and Boundary-Dynamics (2011), presents the proceedings of the conference held at the International Center (Delhi); it dealt with the various patterns and parameters of belonging and social attachments. This second volume analyses the complex relationships between belonging and globalization in the contemporary world, from a Himalayan perspective. This mountainous area covering several nation-states underwent drastic changes in its lifestyles, economies, migration flows, sociability and cultures over the recent decades. The interrelations at local, national and global scales have intensified in a historically unprecedented forms and intensity. In the same time, homogenising global processes have generated parochial and vernacular reactions. This present book aims at developing an appropriate analysis of these interactions in historical and present contexts, and thus at supplementing our previous collection on the Politics of Belonging in the Himalayas. The main objective which this volume explores is to study the reconfigurations of local Himalayan societies instigated by the recent intensification of connections and flows within and across national borders, as well as the new patterns of exchange and movements of population. The dialectics between the global and the local, universalization and particularization, is a key issue for a better understanding of this region. The volume also aims at analyzing the changing politics of the self in this new social and cultural environment, that is, the re-construction of personal identities, positioning and belonging in response to the globalization. The book is the first major study on this topic and a crucial contribution to the study of the current change within the Himalayan societies and their cultures. It is based on several case studies carried out by outstanding anthropologists, geographers, linguists, political scientists working in the Himalayas who have worked in this region over long periods of time.
