The findings presented in this volume represent a concerted effort
to develop a more inclusive form of reindeer management for
northernmost Europe. Our guiding principle has been to foster a new
paradigm of participatory research. We wish to move beyond the
historical reliance on western approaches to basic and applied
science. These have been concerned prim- ily with interactions
between herded animals and the various components of their
biophysical environment, e. g., plants, insects, predators,
climate, and others. In our view, sociocultural and economic
drivers, along with herders' experience-based knowledge, gain equal
currency in the effort to understand how management may mitigate
against the negative aspects of the challenges modern herding
faces, while also exploring concepts of sustainability from
different perspectives (see also Jernsletten and Klokov 2002;
Kankaanpaa et al. 2002; Ulvevadet and Klokov 2004). This broadening
of the pool of disciplines and local, national, and int- national
stakeholders in policy-relevant research invariably complicates v-
tually all aspects of the research process. Multidisciplinary or,
in our sense, transdisciplinary approaches also require
extraordinary effort from all p- ticipants if they are to succeed.
As such, those approaches should not be undertaken lightly, nor
without personnel who possess appropriate expe- ence in cooperating
with those of different disciplines and, preferably, also with
relevant practitioners and public social and administrative
institutions. In such settings the potential for misunderstandings
is quite high."
