This volume presents current research on the roles and importance of tourism and its interrelationships with governance and development in societies that are moving or have moved from "authoritarian" to liberal democratic economic and political models, and those adjusting to the accession requirements of an enlarged European Union. The geographical coverage ranges across Central and Eastern Europe, the Central and Eastern Mediterranean, Central Asia, China, and South Africa, and the identification of common themes and frameworks is a distinguishing characteristic of the book.
