Conclusions: Why do we need to make Efforts to Map the Transition?By emphasizing on the Pamir region a comprehensive overview of path-dependent and recent developments in a remote mountain region is provided in this book. Overall neglect in the mountainous periphery is contrasted by shifting the centre of attention to the Pamirs situated at the interface between South and Central Asia. From colonial times to now there has been a debate on grasping and locating the area. Here field-work based contributions are collected to provide a variety of perspectives on the Pamirs highlighting transformation and transition in Post-Soviet societies as well as in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The similar ecological environment across borders features the common ground while analyzing development processes in a set of case studies that aim at highlighting certain aspects of regional development.Advances in Asian Human-Environmental Research,1879-7180Physical geographySustainable developmentAnthropologyPhysical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Physical geography.Sustainable development.Anthropology.Physical Geography.Sustainable Development.Anthropology.304.2Kreutzmann Hermannedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtWatanabe Teijiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254111003321Mapping Transition in the Pamirs2518668UNINA
