Agritourism Wine Tourism and Craft Beer Tourism Local Responses to Peripherality Through Tourism Niches

Agritourism Wine Tourism and Craft Beer Tourism Local Responses to Peripherality Through Tourism Niches

This book delves into the development opportunities for peripheral areas explored through the emerging practices of agritourism wine tourism and craft beer tourism. It celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of people living in peri-urban regions. Peripheral areas tend to be far from urban hubs providing essential services but also typically suffering from marginalisation and remoteness despite the access to environmental cultural and social resources. In this sense this book investigates the linkages between local agency and tourism in peripheral areas the role of existing policies and the evolving bottom-up practices in fostering local development. The basic aim is to disestablish the dichotomies that often emerge when dealing with issues of rural–urban and/or centre–periphery relationships; innovation vs tradition; authenticity vs mise en scène; agency vs inertia; and social cultural economic mobility vs immobility; etc. With focused attention on the possible compliance or conflicting strategies of local actors with the existing policies the book considers how local actors and communities respond to the implications of peripherality in areas often impacted by marginalising processes. Drawing upon case studies from North America and Europe this book presents this connection as a global phenomenon which will be of interest to community and economic development planners and entrepreneurs. | Agritourism Wine Tourism and Craft Beer Tourism Local Responses to Peripherality Through Tourism Niches

Can War Be Justified? A Debate

Can War Be Justified? A Debate

Can war be justified? Pacifists answer that it cannot; they oppose war and advocate for nonviolent alternatives to war. But defenders of just war theory argue that in some circumstances when the effectiveness of nonviolence is limited wars can be justified. In this book two philosophers debate this question drawing on contemporary scholarship and new developments in thinking about pacifism and just war theory. Andrew Fiala defends the pacifist position while Jennifer Kling defends just war traditions. Fiala argues that pacifism follows from the awful reality of war and the nonviolent goal of building a more just and peaceful world. Kling argues that war is sometimes justified when it is a last-ditch necessary effort to defend people and their communities from utter destruction and death. Pulling from global traditions and histories their debate will captivate anyone who has wondered or worried about the morality of political violence and military force. Topics discussed include ethical questions of self-defense and other-defense the great analogy between individuals and states evolving technologies and methods of warfighting moral injury and post-traumatic stress disorder broader political and communal issues and the problem of regional security in a globalizing world. The authors consider cultural and religious issues as well as the fundamental question of moral obligation in a world saturated in military conflict. The book was written in the aftermath of the war on terrorism and includes reflection on lessons learned from the past decades of war as well as hopes for the future in light of emerging threats in Europe and elsewhere. The book is organized in a user-friendly fashion. Each author presents a self-contained argument which is followed by a series of responses replies and counter-arguments. Throughout the authors model civil discourse by emphasizing points of agreement and remaining areas of disagreement. The book includes reader-friendly summaries a glossary of key concepts and suggestions for further study. All of this will help students and scholars follow the authors’ dialogue so they may develop their own answer to the question of whether war can be justified. Key Features Summarizes the debate between pacifism and just war theory Considers historical and traditional sources as well as contemporary scholarship and applications Models philosophical dialogue and civil discourse while seeking common ground Discusses issues of concern in contemporary warfighting and peacemaking while offering an analysis of the war on terrorism | Can War Be Justified?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

In comparison with Literary Studies and Media and Film Studies the disciplines of Theatre and Performance with their strong anthropocentric heritage have been relatively slow in responding to such things as climate change species extinction or pollution and toxicity etc. However in the wake of recent work on animals cyborgs and objects as well as publications with a specific focus on ecology and environment there are real signs that theatre and performance scholars are beginning to make their own contribution to the Environmental Humanities. But if theatre critics are engaged in new forms of ecocritical analysis it is worth posing a pertinent question from the outset: namely what can theatre do ecologically? In this book leading researchers and practitioners seek to answer that question from a number of perspectives and with diverse methodologies. Topics include: reflections on rehearsal processes scores for performance site-based interventions ideas of conflict investigations of temporality and time ecology ecospectating and the experience of disappointment. Taken together these essays make an important intervention in the emergent (inter)disciplines of the Environmental Humanities and further our understanding of the ecological potential of Theatre and Performance in ways that are cautious tentative but also generative. This book was originally published as a special issue of Green Letters: Studies in Ecocriticism. | Performance and Ecology: What Can Theatre Do?

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding: Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can Be Stopped explains how white supremacist extremism endures the varied forms it takes its relationship with systemic racism and what to do about it. The book draws on more than 30 years of extensive data and direct experiences with extremists to describe how white supremacy moved into the spotlight during the first two decades of the 21st century. The argument focuses on three moments between 2008 and today during which white supremacists took opportunities to move from pockets of underground activism to violent protests across the United States. The authors offer a corrective to observers who mischaracterize today’s racial extremism as a new form of ‘alt-right’ conservatism or ‘white nationalism’ emanating from an isolated poorly educated and economically disenfranchised online fringe. These misunderstandings reflect the limited attention given to the varied and persistent forms of racial extremism that have long simmered in America and an inability to acknowledge the appeal white supremacist messages can hold for a broad swath of the U. S. population. This volume contributes a longer view than other books to demonstrate that today’s white supremacy is less a unique eruption than a continuation –and an acceleration –of longstanding U. S. white supremacy. This is essential reading for scholars and activists interested in racism white supremacy and far-right extremism. | Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

This is an original accessible book for scholars students activists and the general public on the greatest crisis the world has faced. The authors challenge the widespread notion that a green and peaceful set of technological reforms in the current economic and political system – perhaps a “green capitalism” – can prevent disaster. Dying for Capitalism analyzes the “triangle of extinction” that links capitalism environmental destruction and militarism as a system that cannot sustain life on the planet. The authors analyze how the extinction triangle evolved historically how it functions globally as integral to the world capitalist order and how the United States has become the dominant “extinction nation. ” They also show how recent anti-democratic and anti-scientific cultural and political forces intensify denial of the threat and subordinate health and survival to profit and extreme concentrated power. The book offers a “slender path” of social and political transformation that can prevent catastrophe. The path requires moving beyond current ruling systems. But possibilities of survival arise from action at local state regional and global levels through multiple strategies and movements that already exist. The authors draw on the history of abolitionism and emancipation from slavery in the United States to show how a system that appears unchangeable can be transformed while describing organizations movements and practices that are models of hope and a shift from the triangle of extinction to the “circle of creation. ” | Dying for Capitalism How Big Money Fuels Extinction and What We Can Do About It

Freedom Management How leaders can stay afloat in the sea of social connections

Freedom Management How leaders can stay afloat in the sea of social connections

Modern management theory has been established on the ashes of Taylorism emphasizing control over accountability conformity over uniqueness and constraint over freedom. Leadership and management theories and the practical approaches of this age of society can be understood as an ongoing struggle to overcome the boundaries of such a concept of organizations and society. Also latter movements like empowerment or the competence based waves of change have left what we do in organizations largely unscathed. Organizations today are often bereft of a strong leadership function and the result is a decline in overall engagement. Luca Solari contends that this is because the change ahead requires a complete reshuffling of our conceptions of what it means to run an organization and this will not come without pain for those in charge of managing who are unable to shift their roles. It comes as no surprise that the complex pattern of preexisting interests acts like a powerful shield against this change within government society and business organizations alike. This book provides an essential argument as to why contemporary organizations need to change and offers practical guidance on how to overcome the waves while helping your organization to thrive in this new era of management. This book will appeal to leaders as well as those involved in human resource management and organizational change. | Freedom Management How leaders can stay afloat in the sea of social connections

Regulating from the Inside Can Environmental Management Systems Achieve Policy Goals

Regulating from the Inside Can Environmental Management Systems Achieve Policy Goals

Environmental Management Systems (EMSs) offer an approach to regulatory policy that lies somewhere between free-market and traditional command-and-control methods. Worldwide hundreds of thousands of private firms have adopted or are considering adopting these internally managed systems for improving environmental performance. In the United States the Environmental Protection Agency has established a special recognition for firms that adopt EMSs. Already numerous state agencies have proposed or adopted 'green-tier systems' that allow firms with EMSs to be exempted from otherwise applicable requirements. Yet while private- and public-sector interest in EMSs is booming limited empirical evidence is available about the efficacy of EMSs. To close the gap between advocacy and analysis Regulating from the Inside brings together cutting-edge work of leading scholars providing the most comprehensive analysis to date of environmental management systems. Intended to frame the future policy and the research agenda about EMSs the discussions are organized around two critical questions: How have EMSs worked in firms that have already adopted them? What potential and limitations do they have as policy tools in the future? Addressing the arguments of both advocates and skeptics the chapters examine why firms adopt EMSs; how firms implement EMSs; how EMSs answer concerns about fairness corporate social responsibility and sustainability; and what kind of impact EMSs may have on the global economy. | Regulating from the Inside Can Environmental Management Systems Achieve Policy Goals
