{"product_id":"political-ecology-and-tourism-sanjay-nepal-9781138852464","title":"Political Ecology and Tourism","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolitical 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVery 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanjay Nepal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138852465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138852464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Sanjay Nepal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087780851967,"sku":"9781138852464","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_69917b01-4665-4158-9db0-583c1d927d14.jpg?v=1769101363","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-ecology-and-tourism-sanjay-nepal-9781138852464","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
