“…As explained in detail by Pieroni and Debarbieux (2014), SOIA failed to produce tangible results because of a lack of common will. One factor was that the nations party to the Convention, which each assume a rotating two--year presidency, were prone to orientate the project according to their own vision, sometimes bending to national interests.…”

1 Simon Gaberell et Bernard Debarbieux Mapping regions, Framing projects:A comparative analysis on the role of mapping in the region--building process of two European regions For citation, please use to the printed edition: Gaberell, S. and B. Debarbieux (2014). "Mapping regions, framing projects: A comparative analysis on the role of mapping in the region--building process of two European regions." Geoforum 52: 123--136.Abstract: For the last two decades, publications within the "new regional geography" have given little emphasis to cartography. This paper examines the specific role of mapping, its political stakes and modalities, in the region--building process. It illustrates this with an analysis of mapping and database production in the institutionalization process of two "project regions"-the Alps and Carpathian mountains-and in two related, on--going efforts to promote macro--regional strategies. This paper argues that the production of maps and databases deserves to be seen not only as a technical moment, or simply as one output among others in the region--building process, but rather as a component of the process itself, a component that is especially decisive and complex in that it makes explicit the connection between the territorial and the relational dimensions of region--making. The two cases illustrate that mapping is a significant component of the region--making process for three main reasons: (1) it gives shape to the region, provides arguments for its construction, and therefore is a decisive cognitive and rhetorical tool for territorialization; (2) it contributes to the shaping of relational arrangements for the corresponding region; (3) its contribution is important at all different stages in the region--making process --conceptualization, creation, and consolidation -through various modalities.

“…Neither the Permanent Secretariat nor the Convention signatories devoted specific funds and scientific and political priorities sometimes proved to be difficult to articulate. For instance, the establishment of the Observation System (SOIA) proved to be a challenging task, especially because the Permanent Secretariat, ISCAR scientists, and groups set up by SOIA could not agree on a common vision (Pieroni and Debarbieux, 2014). When the SOIA project, which was initially implemented by a technical group of representatives from national statistical and environmental institutions, failed to make progress, a separate consortium of scientists, called DIAMONT, funded by the European Commission, created their own database, geographical information system, and products, including an atlas of the Alps (Tappeiner et al, 2008).…”

During the last 30 years, growing demand for science-based policy making has contributed to the mobilization of scientific cooperation alongside transnational political arrangements for addressing environmental issues. Following the contemporary trend towards regionalizing environmental policy and practice, many of these scientific joint efforts have focused on a regional scale. This article examines regional scientific cooperation in the context of the institutionalization of mountain regions in Europe. Such cooperation can be observed from the Pyrenees to Central Asia, albeit with a degree of variation that largely remains unexplored in scientific research. Sometimes scientific cooperation served to lay the groundwork of a mountain policy initiative, other times it appeared in its wake; some examples appear as loose networks of individual scientists, others are set up as formalized monitoring and observation centers; finally, some scientific joint efforts are formally linked to, or incorporated in a mountain policy initiative, while others are largely independent. The article proposes a new typology for understanding the interactions between regional scientific mobilization and regional policy making and provides up-to-date portraits of six main cases.
