Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: For more than two decades global environmental politics scholars have worked to refine a theoretical lens through which pressing ecological problems are recognized, defined, explored, and analyzed. Although the regime concept has proven fruitful in shedding light on international attempts to address ozone depletion, climate change, or whaling, the homogenizing effect of scholarly theorizing has narrowed the range of acknowledged issues and ? insofar as they have had an impact on negotiations- mitigative approaches, rendering many environmental problems invisible and/or intractable. Critics of the regime lens have recently made inroads in revealing the shortcomings of the concept, including its excess emphasis on nation states as near-exclusive actors, international legal instruments as preferred tools, and rational scientific knowledge as chief adjudicator of argumentation. They have coined the term ?non-regime? to address forestry and coral reefs, but the neologism merely reinforces the received wisdom, communicating to practitioners that what regimes have is what non-regimes lack. Using mountain regions as a case study of a globally significant but increasingly vulnerable biome type, this paper argues that an altogether different view of global environmental politics may be useful, both for scholars and practitioners. Such a view, elements of which are gradually coming to the fore, refuses to privilege the nation state, global treaties, scientific knowledge, or even the simplistic but widespread notion of a linear policy cycle. Instead, a more sociologically informed lens allows for governance mechanisms at multiple scales and scopes, diverse organizational landscapes, and context-specific knowledge grounded in the cultural landscapes of mountain regions.
