In this article, we try to complete the exploratory circle by bringing nature-the physical constraints-back into our cultural picture. All institutions, sooner or later, bump against these constraints; the local farmers sooner, the international agencies later. Learning-readjustments in systems of knowledge - then takes place. Nature, in effect, forces the different systems of knowledge that are promoted by different institutions into conversation with one another. The present challenge is to convert that conversation from monologue to dialogue date: 1985-11 date_type: published publisher: International Mountain Society ; JSTOR creators_browse_id: 1945 creators_browse_id: 306 full_text_status: public publication: Mountain Research and Development volume: 5 number: 4 pagerange: 365-377 refereed: TRUE issn: 1994-7151 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_project: no fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Hatley, T. & Thompson, M.
