Gilles Rudaz
Educated as a geographer, Gilles Rudaz addresses the question of spatial differentiation, i.e. the way societies organized space in pertinent entities. The process of identification of mountain territories and communities as specific is at the core of his researches. It is addressed through the analysis of discourses, policies, groups, lobbies and institutions “producing” a mountain specificity. The identification of mountains by stakeholders as an issue is studied at various scales: local, regional and global (international and transnational). A main focus of his work is the place claimed by local communities in the definition of the modes of management of mountains. He edited “Mountains of Europe: Stakeholders, legitimization, delineation”, a thematic issue of the Journal of Alpine Research (2004). |
