The Ecotourism-Extraction Nexus (eBook, ePUB)

Political Economies and Rural Realities of (un)Comfortable Bedfellows
Redaktion: Büscher, Bram; Davidov, Veronica

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Ecotourism and natural resource extraction may be seen as contradictory pursuits, yet in reality they often take place side by side, sometimes even supported by the same institutions. This book offers theoretical reflections on why these two phenomena are systematically decoupled, and epistemologically and analytically re-links them through ethnographic case studies drawing on research from around the world.
