Produktbeschreibung
The authors of this book use regulation theory to bring theoretical focus and analytic clarity to the study of urban tourism. The book opens and closes with chapters that analyze urban tourism within the context of a restructured global economy and its interaction with local and global cultural tendencies. The editors and contributors emphasize the role of the state at different spatial scales in the production of the tourist city, examine the ways in which urban images are created, and investigate the place of sports, art museums, and other cultural forms in creating the tourism milieu. Original chapters written by leading scholars illuminate their theoretical perspective with studies of Venice, Mexico, Montreal, New York, Los Angeles, London, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris, and Australia's Gold Coast. These studies are grouped into four categories: regulating tourists, city space, labor markets, and the tourism industry. The regulation framework allows the editors and contributors to show how the political, economic, and cultural elements of urban tourism constitute an interwoven whole.

Rezensionen
"Building on the insight that markets rest on politicalfoundations, this volume of highly perceptive studies asks howtourism has become increasingly prominent on the urban scene andhow this has affected urban dwellers, positively as well asnegatively. Fascinating, provocative, unexpected, never simplistic,this book gives us the state of the art on this timely subject."John Mollenkopf, Distinguished Professor of Political Science,CUNY Graduate Center

"This book stands out in what is a rapidly growing literature ontourism by attempting a systematic empirical examination of majortrends and components of urban tourism. It moves from global trendsto the particular ways in which these become concrete economic,social, cultural conditions in specific cities. And it moves fromdetailed empirical analyses to broader interpretive framings ofwhat it all means." Saskia Sassen, editor of GlobalNetworks/Linked Cities

"The book is coherent, the chapters are consistent and theintroduction and conclusion are well-written.....it will serve wellthe global economists who are interested in relationship betweenthe global trends and tourism dynamics at the local level."Journal of American Planning Association
