Abstract

European policy concerning mountain regions aims at achieving sustainability by using cohesion and integration policies, as well as multi-sectoral and regional approaches. Under conditions of global change, the role of scientific research in the implementation of these policies acquires additional importance. Scientific understanding of the theoretical base and the concepts involved would best serve sustainable development policies in the mountain regions. This study provides an overview of definitions of fundamental concepts, such as “sustainability” and “sustainable development,” “multi-disciplinarity,” “inter-disciplinarity,” and “trans-disciplinarity.” Having in mind that diversity and complexity are typical characteristics of mountain areas, both socially and environmentally, this chapter discusses the advantages and drawbacks of implementation of the DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, State, Impact, Responses) model and the concepts of ‘multidisciplinary,’ ‘interdisciplinary,’ and ‘transdisciplinary.’ This analysis is expected to support the following conclusions: (1) sustainable development policies must be grounded in the basic concepts of economic theory, including “throughput,” instead of “utility,” and (2) mountain research necessitates transdisciplinary approaches.
