The tourism industry is one of the most fragile industries because it can be significantly impacted by outside forces, such as pandemics and health scares, natural disasters and catastrophes, economic crises, political recessions and wars, and more, especially epidemics that occur on a global scale, which can cause societies to weaken or be damaged. This new volume presents collective experiences that explore how the tourism industry is affected by pandemics and natural disasters, offering case studies and strategies to mitigate their harmful impact.

Because few comparative data existed on European cultural tourism, when the European commission designated cultural tourism as a key area of tourism development in Europe, the European association for tourism and leisure education undertook a transnational study of European cultural tourism. The first five chapters address general themes (the scope and significance, the social context, the economic context and the political context of cultural tourism). The are followed by eleven chapters on individual countries from the European Union. Re-issued in 2005 in electronic format by ATLAS, the Association for Tourism and Leisure Education.
As the outcome of the sixth international congress, the papers in this volume cover a wide range of topics related to the main theme of the conference, titled “Current Debates in Social Sciences”, and basically focus on politics and history. In this context, the articles in the book draw attention to the different aspects of history and politics such as the transition period from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic, theoretical discussions in politics, history and arts, and the issues regarding neo-liberalism, migration, citizenship and communication. Even though most of the papers deal with the issues regarding Turkey, there are also studies on ancient Anatolia, the Medieval Muslim Dynasties, the Mughal period, the Ottomans and Tsarist Russia. We believe that these studies would contribute to the development of debates in social sciences and encourage interdisciplinary approaches.
