The impacts of tourism, an increasingly crucial area of study amongst researchers, are primarily investigated through economic, socio-cultural or environmental perspectives. The social psychological effects of tourism have not been adequately researched despite often being much more important for many destinations, especially where conflicts among different stakeholders exist. This book investigates the social psychological effects of tourism within the scope of social psychology theory. This book introduces the concept of social psychology, as distinct from psychology and sociology, and its relationship to tourism, examines tourism within various theoretical frameworks, e.g. career ladder theory and Maslow’s 7 hierarchy, explores the ways in which tourism changes attitudes and finally investigates social psychological issues in tourism business. It is an important resource for advanced undergraduates, graduate students and relevant practitioners in the field of tourism, and in some cases for a broader public in the field of social psychology.
Though conflict is normal and can never fully be prevented in the international arena, such conflicts should not lead to loss of innocent life. Tourism can offer a bottom-up approach in the mediation process and contribute to the transformation of conflicts by allowing a way to contradict official barriers motivated by religious, political, or ethnic division. Tourism has both the means and the motivation to ensure the long-term success of prevention efforts. Role and Impact of Tourism in Peacebuilding and Conflict Transformation is an essential reference source that provides an approach to peace through tourism by presenting a theoretical framework of tourism dynamics in international relations, as well as a set of peacebuilding case studies that illustrate the role of tourism in violent or critical scenarios of conflict. Featuring research on topics such as cultural diversity, multicultural interaction, and international relations, this book is ideally designed for policymakers, government officials, international relations experts, academicians, students, and researchers.

This conceptually rich and empirically grounded book draws upon expertise from a panel of emerging and established international scholars to explore the institutionalization and effect of multicultural education on a global scale. Previous studies of multicultural education have largely ignored the significance of understanding the combination of multiple sociopolitical influences on multicultural education in both policy and practice. Filling this void, this book sheds light on the two main reasons for taking a “glocal” perspective on multicultural education. First, children should be provided with meaningful learning opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessa...
FABİSAD’ın panoraması niteliğindeki seçkimiz Fabisad Almanak 2016 ile tekrar karşınızdayız. Dernek üyesi yazar ve çizerlerin fantastik, bilimkurgu ve korku türlerinde öykü, deneme, makale ve çizimlerinden oluşan bu derleme Türkiye’de söz konusu tür ve alanlarda bellek oluşturmak için küçük ama etkili ikinci adımımız. Her açıdan zor bir yıldı 2016. Ustamız Giovanni Scognamillo’yu kaybettiğimiz yıldı. Onun adını taşıyan GİO Ödülleri bu sene buruk bir şekilde sahiplerini buldu. Beyoğlu Kontu’nun sevgiyle anılarak uğurlandığı törende Mavi Anka Ödülü sevgili Sevin Okyay’a takdim edildi. 2016 çetin geçti ama Fabisad açısından üretken de geçti. Pek çok dernek üyemizin yeni kitapları okurlarıyla buluştu, yeni ve özgün projeler üretilmeye devam edildi. “Her şeye rağmen, daha özgür, daha üretken, daha mutlu bir yeni yıl” dilemiştik geçtiğimiz yıl. Bu yıl da naifçe aynı dileklerimizi dile getirelim. Hayal kurmak özgürleştirir demeye de devam edelim. Hayallerimizi anlatmaktan korkmayalım, her şeye rağmen. Keyifli okumalar.
