As the first full-length treatment of a political ecology of tourism, the collection addresses this lacuna and calls for the further establishment of this emerging interdisciplinary subfield. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on recent trends in geography, anthropology, and environmental and tourism studies, Political Ecology of Tourism: Communities, Power and the Environment employs a political ecology approach to the analysis of tourism through three interrelated themes: Communities and Power, Conservation and Control, and Development and Conflict. While geographically broad in scope--with chapters that span Central and South America to Africa, and South, Southeast, and East Asia to Europe and Greenland--the collection illustrates how tourism-related environmental challenges are shared across prodigious geographical distances, while also attending to the nuanced ways they materialize in local contexts and therefore demand the historically situated, place-based and multi-scalar approach of political ecology. This collection advances our understanding of the role of political, economic and environmental concerns in tourism practice. It offers readers a political ecology framework from which to address tourism-related issues and themes such as development, identity politics, environmental subjectivities, environmental degradation, land and resources conflict, and indigenous ecologies. Finally, the collection is bookended by a pair of essays from two of the most distinguished scholars working in the subfield: Rosaleen Duffy (foreword) and James Igoe (afterword).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This collection will be valuable reading for scholars and practitioners alike who share a critical interest in the intersection of tourism, politics and the environment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Mostafanezhad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138859443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138859449\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Mary Mostafanezhad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087786062079,"sku":"9781138859449","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_864dfaaf-2bb2-4212-a8d2-0238cc30fbf4.jpg?v=1769101372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-ecology-of-tourism-mary-mostafanezhad-9781138859449","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
