3. 2. Social Ecography : International trade, network analysis, and an Emmanuelian conceptualization of ecological unequal exchange

   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; ecological unequal exchange; commodity trade; ecological economics; world-system analysis; network analysis; human ecology; ecography;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis demonstrates how network analysis, ecological economics and the world-system perspective can be combined into an ecographic framework that can yield new insights into the underlying structure of the world-economy as well as its surrounding world-ecology. In particular, the thesis focuses on the structural theory of ecological unequal exchange, a theory suggesting a relationship between positionality within the world-system and unequal exchange of biophysical resources.

4. 3. Orienting West Mexico: The Mesoamerican World System 200-1200 CE

   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Mesoamerica; Archaeology; World-Systems theory; World-Systems analysis; Nested Networks; West Mexico; Central Mexico; Early Classic; Epiclassic; Early Postclassic;

   Sammanfattning : As world-systems theory came to the fore in archaeology during the 1980s and 1990s, it became evident that the analysis of pre-capitalist core/periphery relations required modifications of this theory for its further use in the discipline. As a result, the comparative approach for world-systems analysis (Chase-Dunn and Hall 1997) discerned four interaction networks that defined pre-capitalist world-systems. LÄS MER

   Författare :Stefan Gössling; Institutionen för tjänstevetenskap; []

   Sammanfattning : The thesis aims at deconstructing the sustainable tourism paradigm: can tourism be "a global strategy for sustainable development", as the tourist industry claims? And will developing countries in particular profit from tourism development?To most international organizations and institutions (from the World Wide Fund for Nature to The World Bank), tourism, if carefully managed, is a positive, sustainable development tool. However, the research presented in this thesis exposes this view as unrealistically optimistic for at least three reasons: first of all, global environmental change caused by tourism has never been investigated and integrated with the discourse on sustainable tourism development.
