Political Ecology and Tourism de Sanjay Nepal

Political Ecology and Tourism: Routledge Studies in Political Ecology

Editat de Sanjay Nepal, Jarkko Saarinen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 mar 2016

Political ecology explicitly addresses the relations between the social and the natural, arguing that social and environmental conditions are deeply and inextricably linked. Its emphasis on the material state of nature as the outcome of political processes, as well as the construction and understanding of nature itself as political is greatly relevant to tourism.

Very few tourism scholars have used political ecology as a lens to examine tourism-centric natural resource management issues. This book brings together experts in the field, with a foreword from Piers Blaikie, to provide a global exploration of the application of political ecology to tourism. It addresses the underlying issues of power, ownership, and policies that determine the ways in which tourism development decisions are made and implemented. Furthermore, contributions document the complex array of relationships between tourism stakeholders, including indigenous communities, and multiple scales of potential conflicts and compromises.

This groundbreaking book covers 15 contributions organized around four cross-cutting themes of communities and livelihoods; class, representation, and power; dispossession and displacement; and, environmental justice and community empowerment. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in tourism, geography, anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, and natural resources management."

Recenzii

"Nepal and Saarinen (2016) acknowledge in their concluding remarks that this volume is meant to be a building block for future political ecology research in tourism. Indeed, it is a great effort to highlight political ecology as a useful lens for tourism research, especially for topics related to communities, power, conservation and sustainability. Political ecology and tourism should be of interest to scholars and practitioners as both theories and practical recommendations are present throughout."
Denis Tolkach, School of Hotel and Tourism Management, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
