THE MICRO GEOPOLITICS OF ECOTOURISM

This is an interdisciplinary book on ecotourism, discursive constructions, sustainability, nature conservation and preservation, public policies and development, politics and partnerships which presents tourism-related topics and current themes with remarkable in-depth analysis and discerning views serving as a source to various purposes of scholars, researchers, professors, government staff, planners, policy makers, people of trade and of private sector, civil society, NGOs, and by those interested in the subject. Conceptually, the author discusses and applies Social Constructionism, Critical Realism and Theory of Collaboration to empirical data, and he discusses and adapts the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of Norman Fairclough as a methodological tool. This book is a very interesting reading with unique approaches. There are general chapters accessible to a broad audience in reason of case studies in Brazil and in New Zealand. ISBN:978-85-912426-2-7
