Abstract: Interdisciplinarity is needed in order to address and solve the sustainability challenges of the twenty-first century. Telecoupling research is a clear response to this need. This chapter explores how, by being aware of the different modes and logics of interdisciplinary collaboration, telecoupling research can emerge as a flexible rather than a merely integrative interdisciplinary research framework. This chapter also illustrates how discussions around scale and distance in telecoupling research indicate how telecoupling research is striving for insights concerning global land-use change that are not reducible to understandings and definitions within either the natural or the social sciences. To encourage and facilitate this interdisciplinary process, this chapter argues that telecoupling research needs to not only focus on the how to of interdisciplinarity, but also actively focus on and discuss what political, economic or research logics drive the need for interdisciplinarity.
