Preview Peace through Tourism: Promoting Human Security Through International Citizenship
CONTEMPORARY GEOGRAPHIES OF LEISURE, TOURISM AND MOBILITY Peace Through Tourism Promoting human security through international citizenship Edited by Lynda- ann Blanchard and Freya Higgins-D esbiolles Peace Through Tourism Peace through tourism refers to a body of analysis which suggests tourism may contribute to cross-c ultural understanding, tolerance and even peace between communities and nations. What has been largely missing to date is a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace. This timely volume fills this void, by providing a critical look at tourism in order to ascertain its potential as a social force to promote human rights, justice and peace. It presents an alternative characterisation of the possibilities for peace through tourism: embedding an understanding of the phenomenon in a deep grounding in multidisciplinary perspectives and envisioning tourism in the context of human rights, social justice and ecological integrity. Such an approach engages the ambivalence and dichotomy of views held on peace tourism by relying on a pedagogy of peace. It integrates a range of perspectives from schol- ars from many disciplinary backgrounds, non- governmental organisations (NGOs), tourism industry operators and communities, all united by an interest in critical approaches to understanding peace through tourism. Additionally, diverse geo- political contexts are represented in this book from the USA, India, Japan, Israel, Palestine, Kenya, the Koreas, Indonesia, East Timor and Indi- genous Australia. Written by leading academics, this ground- breaking book will provide stu- dents, researchers and academics with a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace. Lynda- ann Blanchard is engaged in teaching, research and advocacy with the Centre for Peace and Conflict (CPACS), University of Sydney, and the Centre for Human Rights Education (CHRE), Curtin University in Australia. Her research focuses on peace studies. Freya Higgins- Desbiolles is a Senior Lecturer with the Department of Tourism of the University of Otago and the School of Management of the University of South Australia. She co- created Australia’s first postgraduate course on peace through tourism and has researched extensively on this topic. Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobility Series Editor: C. Michael Hall Professor at the Department of Management, College of Business and Economics, University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand The aim of this series is to explore and communicate the intersections and rela- tionships between leisure, tourism and human mobility within the social sciences. It will incorporate both traditional and new perspectives on leisure and tourism from contemporary geography, e.g. notions of identity, repres- entation and culture, while also providing for perspectives from cognate areas such as anthropology, cultural studies, gastronomy and food studies, market- ing, policy studies and political economy, regional and urban planning, and sociology, within the development of an integrated field of leisure and tourism studies. Also, increasingly, tourism and leisure are regarded as steps in a continuum of human mobility. Inclusion of mobility in the series offers the prospect to examine the relationship between tourism and migration, the sojourner, educa- tional travel, and second home and retirement travel phenomena. The series comprises two strands: Contemporary geographies of leisure, tourism and mobility aims to address the needs of students and academics, and the titles will be published in hardback and paperback.
